Ilie Dumitrescu, former Romanian international, reacted after Bayern – PSG, score 1-1, the second leg of the semi-final of the Champions League.

  • PSG – Arsenal, the final of the 2025-2026 season of the world's most important interclub competition, will take place on May 30, in Budapest.

Ilie Dumitrescu had several highlights in the Paris team. About Joao Neves and Vitinha he said that they played perfectly, but he also had words of praise for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the decisive passer of Ousmane Dembele's goal in the 3rd minute, but also for the goalkeepers.

Ilie Dumitrescu: “The best defense was Paris'. Their approach was different”

“The best defense was Paris'. Their approach was different. I think, however, Luis Enrique understood that if you leave spaces and leave one-on-one areas for Olise and Luis Diaz there is a possibility for the opponent to create superiority and even finish with the finish. They stayed compact, it was dubbing.

I saw a different team in the axis. Another middle line. Vitinha and Neves, perfect. Fabian Ruiz was a little more advanced, but he also went under the line. Nuno Mendes had a very good game against Olise. On the opposite side was Zaire-Emery with Luis Diaz, but he always had dubbing. It was dubbed by Neves or Marquinhos. He prepared the game a little differently. It's a reactive team. Kvaratskhelia was seen to leave. One defender was in the opponent's field and one in his own field and played in free space. The way Kvaratskhelia informs the pass for Dembele…He is one of the most important players.

There were a few situations where they could hang up. There were important situations. Neuer and Safonov played a sensational match tonight,” said Ilie Dumitrescu on Digi Sport's European Football show.

I was impressed by Paris tonight from a physical point of view. They were marking man to man all over the field at one point. To be able to run the whole game like that…
