Stats & Facts: the PSV game
Check out the key stats from Tuesday's UEFA Champions League encounter.
PARIS JUST WON'T BE BEATEN
In three of their last four UEFA Champions League matches in which they have trailed at half-time, Paris Saint-Germain have simply refused to be beaten, that's as many comebacks to avoid defeat as in their previous 16 such scenarios (3 draws, 13 defeats) in the competition.
TESTING THE WOODWORK
The Rouge-et-Bleu were again denied when Ousmane Dembélé found the crossbar and have now struck the woodwork in each of their last five UEFA Champions League home games.
ATTACKING DEFENDERS...
After Nuno Mendes, whose determination led to the goal against Girona, it was the turn of Achraf Hakimi to lead the charge against PSV with his sixth UEFA Champions League goal, and came on the Morocco international's 50th appearance in the competition. He had already found the net for Paris when he struck against Borussia Dortmund in September 2023. Only two defenders have scored more times in the competition than Hakimi since his competition debut in 2017/18: Raphaël Guerreiro (9) and a familiar face, Sergio Ramos (7).
... AND YOUTHFUL LEARNING curve
After Warren Zaïre-Emery, Senny Mayulu was handed his UEFA Champions League debut. Paris Saint-Germain now has two players born in 2006 or after with experience in the competition, more than any other club except Barcelona (5).
