Neymar called it one of the most important goals in the history of Barcelona. Sargi Roberto could not sleep after scoring it. The image of the victorious Lionel Messi was everywhere. Many consider it as a centenary Champions League return.
For Uni Emery, La remontadaBarcelona’s 6–1 wins on their Paris St.-Germen side in 2017, completing four goals from the first phase in France, represents some differently. It was a surprising defeat that threatened to define him.
Emery won a trio of European trophies in Valencia and in Sevilla, but had a chance to make memories in the PSG Champions League – and it was not the way that was in the minds of the owners of Qatari. He also lost his home title to Monaco.
The following year was rebuilt at least under Emri as he directed PSG to a domestic quadruple, but the ripple effect of that night in Barcelona, yet. He shaped his team’s selection in 2018 to lose to Real Madrid and even his career.
Eight years later, Emery did not face her former club for the first time after her exit, but also Louis Enrique, now the head coach of PSG. The person who was famously announced that “if they could score four, we can score six” and somehow proved to be sensationally correct.
Is Emri on this? They have achieved adequate to relax about a reunion. Still win with another Europa League Villarial. Club has not seen the Eston Villa to a level in more than 40 years. But in our first interview after assuming office in the villa, He It was the one who brought it.
“I won the Europa League four times,” he told Sky sports“This is a lot of experience and there are lots of competitive moments. And I have some necklaces as well, such as with PSG when we lost against Barcelona, for example, 6-1. And that experience helped me improve.”
At that time it was not an overriding spirit. Neymar had already indicated Barcelona’s confidence. “We have a team. We can make history.” Later, Emery took a low romantic scene. “We were abolished because the var was not present yet,” he complained.
It was a curious evening. Barcelona showed his vulnerability in Parc des Princes, but an enfeebled PSG did not choose the option to test them again at Camp Nu, extending the possibility of returning two goals in the first half sitting back back and sitting back.
Messi made it three from a penalty spot at the second time, but Edinson Kavani’s goal silenced the crowd and everyone felt, but ended the hopes of Barka, far-off rules mean that they needed three more. He still needed three goals that were going in the 88th minute.
It was in the period of intervention that PSG looted. Xavier Maschherano launched Angel de Maria as he prepared to shoot. Loop on the ball. There was no fine. “It is clear that it was a dishonesty,” said Masterano later. “I’m not going to lie about it.”
Emri was important for officers. “We were likely to make it 3-2 and then the referee’s decisions, I don’t know whether they were right or not, but of course they harmed us.” It was not as harmful as it came forward. “Then, in the last minutes, we lost everything.”
What happened in those concluding minutes is legendary goods. Neymar took the center stage, scored two and set the last set in the fifth minute of stoppage-time. Messi has still stolen the front cover. It is said that Neymar has played his role in persuading him to move forward.
Lucas Digne, now Villa’s, Barcelona was seen from the bench, but Emery also felt like an audience in another dugout. The belief was that when the time came for PSG to show that they were ready to defeat the elite of Europe, their team had shared the challenge.
“In that period of the game, I noticed that an important player for us who had problems during the week, hiding herself,” Emery said, Cryptocurrency. “Maybe I should have changed it. Those small things are those that can see a game slip away from you.”
He did not name the player at that time, although some later concluded that Emri regretted his decision to remember Thiago Silva, the great defender whose fitness was in doubt. He missed the leg first. The temptation was to live with four behind.
Emery, possibly flowing from the notion that Brazilian experience needs to be brought back to Camp Nu’s Kauldron. A coach noted for his analytical approach, which gives importance to psychological integrals on its strategic tendency.
Speaking three years later, long after his departure from Paris, and surprisingly left the next season’s real Madrid out of his side, Emri openly discussed his dilemma on the defender. “I wanted the team to rescue high,” he said.
“Thiago Silva is a super player, but I wanted him to rescue high and I did not succeed in convincing him to accept it. I wanted him to leave his rest area so that our team could be more effective in the opposition.
“I worked with her, but she did not succeed. In the game of Thiago Silva, this feature turned into the rest of the team, which was a natural tendency to retreat, under pressure. In Camp Nou, I instructed to go to a higher level. But it was not heard.”
Emery is not a man to forget the details and it is clearly one who has been with him. Maybe it will always be. This week again comes questions as he returns to Paris with Villa in this Champions League quarter-finals, PSG is still chasing that elusive trophy.
Talking to Kevin Trap, the goalkeeper who scored six goals that night, he said: “I always try to convince everyone that the game does not matter to me now.” But it helps the trap go back to Barcelona with the Entrech Frankfurt and dropped them out of Europe.
Such is football. There is always another game. In 2017, a point created by Luis Enrique that night in 2017, and perhaps now, “We lost everything in Paris. But this amazing game is unique. It always gives you a chance to take revenge.”
Perhaps this is Emery’s turn.
