After a slow opening half showing, Paris Saint-Germain came out in the second half with a real sense of urgency against Basaksehir. In a must-win UEFA Champions League group stage contest, PSG had its first real goal-scoring chance minutes into the second half.
With PSG breaking on a quick transition into the final third, Mbappe was able to receive the ball in the opponent’s penalty box. The forward then found winger Pablo Sarabia in the box and sent in an excellent ball for a critical goal-scoring chance. But the Spanish forward did not even create a shot on target out of the attempt.
¡LA QUE FALLÓ SARABIA! 🤯🤯
¡La mandó directo a la tribuna de forma increíble y PSG se pierde el primero!

PSG just can not afford to waste these kinds of goal-scoring chances.
