PSG was very organized defensively, yet struggled to find a final pass when going forward in the attack. Madrid was gifted 2 lucky goals as well as a penalty finished clinically by Ronaldo. While the score line may not reflect the positives from the match for PSG, there is a lot to take away for Unai Emery and his squad. PSG created many clear cut chances but lacked finishing ability.
