00:00Teams, well capable of dazzling their fans, ready for a showdown that could take on highly dramatic proportions.
00:07Be prepared for genuine excitement.
00:12It's PSG, they face Juventus, and it's live next on EA TV.
00:19Hello and welcome to a football stadium with a very rich history.
00:23We're at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
00:25I'm your match commentator Derek Ray, and sitting alongside me, ready with all her tactical observations, Sue Smith.
00:32And without doubt, a match with the potential to bring genuine excitement.
00:37It's Paris Saint-Germain, and they take on Juventus.
00:40It's a real pleasure to be here. It's been buzzing ahead of kick-off.
00:44Let's hope the football lives up to the atmosphere.
00:55Introducing the Paris Saint-Germain starters.
01:08Ashraf Hakimi plays with Nuno Mench in the full-back positions.
01:12Rabian plays alongside Vitor Ferreira in central midfield.
01:16And the responsibility of leading the line today goes to Ousmane Dembele.
01:20And the old lady of Italian football going with this starting XI.
01:39Bremer plays alongside Pierre Caloulu in central defence.
01:43And rather than use a strike partnership, they've gone with just the one player in attack.
01:48Well, this might well be one to say, but Juventus get the ball rolling.
02:04Locatelli.
02:06Untidly played.
02:08Yeah, he always sees a pass, doesn't he?
02:12Oh, it's on!
02:14In it goes! An early goal.
02:16No wonder they're celebrating.
02:18Well, look at this.
02:32He does so well to find the pass.
02:35Great vision.
02:36And it's a quality finish.
02:38He's got to keep his composure, which he does.
02:40Really nice goal, that.
02:41Well, they get the ball moving again.
02:51What effect will that goal have on PSG?
02:54We're going to find out here.
02:58Throw-ins given.
02:59And a chance to whip it in here.
03:13Well, the attack petered out.
03:16Yeah, they had great shape-up possession there, didn't they?
03:21Locatelli.
03:21Well, that's a super ball over the top.
03:32And well, Locatelli.
03:38Well, that looks so promising, but a goal kicked the outcome.
03:41And the flag does go up, offside.
03:58Well, that's a good one.
03:59Well, that's a good one.
04:15Cambiasso.
04:18Yildiz.
04:21Quinten strongly to win the ball.
04:22And Juventus will get the throw-in.
04:36Yildiz.
04:38And on to Turam.
04:41Cambiasso.
04:43The ball back with PSG now.
04:48Dembele.
04:48Oh, it looked really promising for them.
04:53Yeah, and I liked the approach play, but just lacked that final pass, didn't they?
04:58Possibilities for them to counter.
05:09Nersh.
05:13Annoyingly, there it breaks down.
05:14Teammates available.
05:19What a magnificent pass.
05:24Will it be?
05:25And what a magical save it was.
05:28Let's see about the delivery.
05:48Good piece of closing doubt.
05:51And Dembele's given it away.
05:52Okay.
05:53Oh, no stopping him.
06:15PSG have lost the ball again.
06:17Now breaking at pace.
06:19Potential danger.
06:20In with a chance.
06:21Well, they would be in an even worse position, were it not for the keeper.
06:28Yeah, that's a great save.
06:30Just about keeping them in this.
06:39Trying to deliver it accurately.
06:41Well, he opted for power from close range.
06:44He might be regretting that now.
06:45Fabian.
06:57Fabian.
07:03Hakimi.
07:05Still trailing, but they keep it moving.
07:07Excellent defending.
07:14Excellent defending.
07:21Kalulu.
07:26Tempene.
07:27A missed development.
07:28And it's a goal for Paris Saint-Germain to square this game.
07:39Well, here we can see it again.
07:41And he shows great ability to get past his man.
07:44And he watches it all the way.
07:45Then just tucks it in with confidence.
07:47So, on the way again, following the goal that made things level.
08:05What do you know this?
08:06Oostad Depele.
08:09Locatelli.
08:11On to David.
08:14Surely.
08:20Oh, given away.
08:23Decent idea.
08:24Yeah.
08:24He has time to play.
08:33It's over.
08:34He's blocked it.
08:36Oh, it's brave defending that.
08:38Good body position.
08:40Good conditions for the counter.
08:43And he's broken free.
08:46And it's a double for him in this game.
08:49No way for the opposition to contain him.
08:52And no wonder he's off celebrating.
09:02Well, here it is again.
09:03And just look at how quickly they break forward.
09:06Cause all sorts of problems.
09:08And then as soon as Dembele's through on goal,
09:10you're confident that he's going to finish.
09:12He opts for power.
09:13And he just flies into the back of the net.
09:19So the ball is rolling again.
09:272-1 the scoreline.
09:31McKennie.
09:43Oh, that's a clever ball.
09:45Oh, that is a wonderful piece of challenging.
09:51Well, they might be able to launch a counter-attack.
09:58Jonathan David.
10:00Oh, could be an opportunity here.
10:10Really clever pressing.
10:11Kambiazo.
10:17Did really well to get through.
10:20The danger averted thanks to his team-mate.
10:28Joao Neves.
10:30Dembele on the ball.
10:33I don't know if you're wondering about...
10:34And in with a real chance.
10:35And there is the goal to make it a hat-trick.
10:40Excellence at finishing.
10:41There for all to see.
10:42Well, this is great.
11:00I really like the way he slipped past his marker here.
11:02And then once Dembele is through 1v1 with the goalkeeper,
11:05he goes for power, makes great contact,
11:08and it flies into the net.
11:09I'm sure he'll be happy with that.
11:12No shortage of goals in this match.
11:243-1.
11:29And so the halftime whistle has gone here at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
11:33Ousmane Dembele so poised and productive
11:40and really producing for his team in this game.
11:43Well, the keeper's probably had enough of him.
11:45Had no rest with all those efforts flying in.
11:48He's made it look easy today.
11:50Calm, clinical, and right on target.
11:52Well, the ball is rolling again, and no getting away from it.
12:03PSG very much bossing it in the first 45.
12:09Baratelia.
12:14High pressing and good high pressing.
12:16Nevesh.
12:31What can they do to stop him running at them?
12:35Succeeded in blocking it.
12:37Oh, great awareness to see the danger there, wasn't it?
12:42Dembele.
12:42He's in behind.
12:48In it goes!
12:50The lead just gets bigger.
12:51Surely they can't let this slip now.
13:01Well, here we can see it again,
13:03and he probably won't get an easier finish than that.
13:05But there was never any doubt that he'd put that one away.
13:08So, the action continues.
13:17It's been all PSG so far,
13:19and you sense there could be extra punishment dished out.
13:23Locatelli.
13:25And on to Turam.
13:27And possibilities here.
13:31And the keeper taking care of the situation.
13:34Oh, a real lap by the keeper.
13:35Ricciar Baratelia.
13:44Dembele.
13:46Thoughtful play.
13:49And he saw the situation developing.
13:55David.
13:57And on to Locatelli.
13:59Well, it could be on for him here.
14:01And he's made it a brace for himself.
14:05The defender is just unable to stay with him.
14:08And he's having a field day.
14:18Well, here we can see it again.
14:20You do have to feel for the keeper.
14:22He's left completely exposed at the back,
14:25and he never really had much of a chance.
14:28It's poor defending, you have to say.
14:34So, the current scoreline, 4-2.
14:39Neves.
14:40And PSG pushing forward with options available.
14:46Oh, needed more precision.
14:48I'm sure the manager won't be happy with how careless he's been there.
14:56Well, we have 30 minutes to go.
15:00But Eime.
15:00And on to McKinney.
15:04Might be a chance to break.
15:08Will he play it in?
15:10Chance to get themselves back into it.
15:12Oh, that's textbook goalkeeping.
15:15It's a substitution for Juventus.
15:19And there's the delivery.
15:22Well, he has the scent of a hat-trick in his nostrils,
15:25but not quite.
15:26And what a game he's had so far.
15:28You can see he's hungry for another,
15:30but can't finish it off this time.
15:37Could be threatening.
15:39Well, unable to hold as wrong,
15:40and that's offside.
15:56Locatelli.
15:56A very effective challenge put in.
16:02Oh, that's a clever ball.
16:09The cross is on.
16:11Oh, he's lost possession.
16:14Oh, that's a fine-looking pass.
16:16And diving to thwart him.
16:26Vitor Ferreira.
16:29Dembele on the ball.
16:32He continues his run.
16:38Splendid challenge, that.
16:39Yeah, he had to time that well, and he did.
16:46Just straying offside.
16:50And a Juventus personnel change here.
16:52And Juve, unable to keep the ball.
17:06To Ram.
17:09Now with Yildiz.
17:10Well, brilliant work to keep that one in play.
17:17Kenan Yildiz.
17:20Can they open the mark?
17:22Delivered into the area here.
17:25A deft clearance.
17:30Counter-attacking possibilities.
17:32Mario.
17:45Mario.
17:50David.
17:50Good ball over the top.
18:06Ten minutes to go.
18:09And Dembele couldn't keep the ball.
18:10Released it nicely.
18:18The delivery.
18:25Fine work from Paddy Saint-Germain to win the ball back.
18:29And that is easy meet for the keeper.
18:32No problems there.
18:36Well, doesn't have to do it on his own.
18:40Can he deliver?
18:47Unable to finish.
18:48And that might have sealed their fate.
18:50Time is running out for them.
18:52What a chance.
18:53They had to take it.
18:55And that will be a caution.
18:57Yeah, there's no way he's getting away with that one.
19:01And the substitution will occur now.
19:10Fabian.
19:22Dembele on the ball.
19:26Hakimi.
19:30This looks interesting.
19:32Can he do it?
19:33Oh, my word.
19:34There's excellent timing for you.
19:36What a challenge.
19:37Yeah, he's recovered the ball well there.
19:40I thought it was almost certain to be a goal.
19:45So, two minutes of stoppage time here.
19:50Well, that attack collapsed completely.
19:56Touran.
19:57Oh, dear.
20:02Up a dip.
20:03And there's the final whistle.
20:04And we can confirm a victory for Paddy Saint-Germain.
20:08What did you think of their overall display?
20:10Yeah, it was a good result and performance.
20:12I thought they always looked dangerous going forward.
20:14They kept the ball well in midfield.
20:16And I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:18I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:18I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:19I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:20I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:21I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:22I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:23I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:24I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:25I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:26I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:27I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:28I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:29I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:30I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:31I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:32I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:33I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:34I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:35I'm sure the manager will be happy.
20:36I'm sure the manager will be happy.
