The UEFA Europa League has always been a star-studded arena, but with the retirement of C. Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and the rise of a new generation of Ballon d'Or winners, Anin Chalant and Zudibininhan, Paris Saint-Germain have shown a power that is difficult to manage. In this context, (PSG) young striker Kilian McBarbee appeared "invisible" in the last eight of the UEFA Europa League. For Barcelona, it was disappointing to see the center of the midfield failing to attack.
On Wednesday (10), in a marquee match between Real Madrid and Manchester City, Zudibinenham and Ainin Chalainte both had an attacking attempt and appeared to be uncharacteristically calm. However, McBarbie seemed to have fallen behind them. In this game, McBarbee's shots failed to hit the target three times, which is the first time in the last 12 home matches of the UEFA Europa League "0 in the dragon" situation. In addition, McBarbee only touched the ball 44 times in the game, of which at least 13 passes were missed, plus three offsides were blown, his "new king" style has disappeared.
The PSG coach refused to comment on McBarbie's play after the Anriki game, but French TV reported on Red Star coach Bier's remarks: "McBarbie's mediocre performance is unacceptable as the centerpiece of the attack, but the biggest responsibility lies with Anriki. This season, McBarbie was used to cope with high-intensity fixtures. Of course, he should have performed better, but I was happy to see him isolated in this game."
