The Parc des Princes experienced one of the craziest nights in Champions League history on Tuesday night. PSG, carried by a brace from Ousmane Dembele, another from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and a goal from Joao Neves, beat Bayern Munich in the first leg of the semifinal.
The Bavarians responded through Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Dayot Upamecano, and Luis Diaz. A total spectacle, a delight for neutrals. But on the Amazon Prime set, a great figure of world soccer watched it with a very different eye.
That figure is Wayne Rooney. The former Manchester United and England legend did not mince his words: "Both teams have so much quality up front that they probably forget to defend a bit. When PSG leads 5-2, Luis Enrique should have said: close up the game, make life hard for the opponent. But no, they went looking for more goals. Some goals are elementary school goals. At this level, we saw brilliance, but also immature defending, which is crazy."
