I am aware of the responsibility we have," Galtier told Canal Plus after PSG beat Juventus 2-1 in the Champions League. "It wasn't the right time. It was a poor quality joke at a bad moment," he added, insisting that PSG are "aware of the importance of climate change issues".

There's not enough consistency from Juventus to present PSG a challenge at this stage in the season. The club has lacked creativity in the final third, with just 6.52 xG (expected goals) across the five matches, sitting Juve eighth in Serie A, miles behind the likes of Napoli, Inter, and AC Milan. Neymar is at the forefront, with an insane seven goals and six assists through just 455 league minutes, both which put the Brazilian atop the Ligue 1 charts. Angel Di Maria is also likely to play against his former side after a free transfer over the summer. The club reached the finals in 2020, only to fall to Bayern Munich. Juventus also crave European glory, having failed to progress past the quarterfinals since their finals loss to Real Madrid in 2017. The only rotation has come along the defensive line. Dominating Ligue 1 play despite locker room adversity, Galtier must now navigate the Champions League knowing his employers expect to hoist a trophy at the end of the season. Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has an ankle injury and will be replaced by Mattia Perin. Captain Marquinhos has started consistently, but the others have rotated. Otherwise, they've only reached the semifinals once, bounced in the Round of 16 four times and the quarterfinals four times since 2012. Tue, Sept.

A real sense of belief has been instilled by Max Allegri. Neymar drags an effort wide at the other end. The crosses are causing havoc for PSG, with Donnarumma denying Locatelli's rebounded cross. He epitomised everything good about the Parisians, and even contributed a little pressing from the front towards the end. A host of changes coming up. Although Kylian Mbappe scored the PSG goals, they were laid on a platter by the in-form Brazilian.

There's not enough consistency from Juventus to present PSG a challenge at this stage in the season. Verratti and Hakimi are involved, with the latter playing a one-two with Mbappe as the Frenchman enters the penalty area. He shows both Bremer and Ramos a yellow card to up the stakes on the rest of the match. The official has lots of work to do to put a lid on things. A deflection in the Juventus penalty area falls to Neymar at the top of the six-yard box, and the Brazilian unleashes a blistering volley. Dusan Vlahovic whips a header in at a great angle, but Donnarumma is there diving down to his right to get a hand on the shot. The Frenchman produces a rare whiff in front of net. 36th min: Neymar somehow gets free through the Juventus back line off a brilliant bit of skill and a fortuitous deflection, and he goes down under contact from Juan Cuadrado as the ball rolls to Perin. The new summer arrival whiffs as he tries to clear a cross, and that allows Kostic to feed Locatelli arriving in the six-yard box. 65th min: Marco Verratti, who's had an absolutely incredible match, earns a yellow card for a push in the back of Rabiot. This influence is a very positive sign for McKennie as he looks to win minutes in a crowded Juventus midfield, even in the absence of Paul Pogba. Both had chances after the break, but neither produced the same cutting edge they showed in the first half and throughout the start of the season.

PSG kick off their Champions League campaign against titans Juventus on Tuesday after a dazzling start to the Ligue 1 season, with the Lionel Messi, Neymar, ...

That leaves a risky lacuna in the Parisians’ lineup – with very little in the way of cover if one of their ageing defenders gets injured. For all the money fire-hosed at PSG – for all the talk that this season it would finally bear fruit – they crumbled in the face of a historic club with decades-long pedigree, as Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema scored a second leg hat trick to tear down PSG’s lead and send them crashing out of the tournament. It was a 6-1 beating that seemed to expose the Parisians as amateurish parvenus with no place at football’s top table. It looked like PSG had joined the ranks of the giants. The [Champions League](https://www.france24.com/en/tag/champions-league/) is the theatre of PSG’s most passionate hopes for glory, and over recent years the tournament’s knockout rounds have provided stages for the tragic denouement of those hopes. So will the Parisians finally shake off their reputations as also-rans in club football’s top tournament?

The Frenchman strikes off his left foot looking for the bottom corner, but he scuffs his strike slightly and it bobbles out for a goal-kick. Just moments ago, Locatelli came on for Milik. Weston McKennie's 53rd minute header keeps the visitors within touching distance, though, for now. Two defensive changes for PSG. Locatelli charges into the box and rides a challenge. Verratti comes off for Sanches.

Top French football club Paris St-Germain has been criticised following a joke about the team using a private plane for a short journey.

English Premier League clubs regularly fly for domestic matches due to convenience. "To be perfectly honest with you, this morning we talked about it with the company who organises our trips and we're looking into travelling on sand yachts." Head coach Christophe Galtier and star player Kylian Mbappé were asked about the French champions' recent jet trip to the western city of Nantes.

Christophe Galtier and Kylian Mbappé cracked up at the coach's suggestion of using “a sand yacht” for short trips.

It really costs less, since for a sum of 100 to 150 euros, you can go there in a sand yacht and effectively with a carbon footprint equal to zero. “To be very honest with you, this morning we spoke with the company that organizes our trips, and we’re trying to see if we can travel by sand yacht.” We can all have the giggles at the least opportune moment, and it really was the least opportune moment. Politicians were quick to jump on the issue. President Emmanuel Macron on Monday urged everyone to “do their bit” to fight climate change. Then he turned to Kylian Mbappé, his star striker, who dissolved into laughter.

French lawmakers and officials heaped criticism on Christophe Galtier after he joked about the team's use of chartered flights during a national drive to ...

He retweeted video apparently posted by a PSG player of team members aboard their flight to the Ligue 1 match on Saturday night. Alain Krakovitch, the director of the French rail company’s TGV-Intercity service, noted the network’s high-speed trains can travel the roughly 380 kilometers (240 miles) to the western city in just under two hours. To be very honest with you, this morning we spoke with the company that organizes our trips, and we're trying to see if we can travel by sand yacht.”

"From June to August, Messi made 52 flights with his private jet, amounting to 1,502 tons of CO2 emissions. And I think this was the wrong moment to burst out laughing." "We must all take climate change seriously," he told BFM-TV. "Mr Galtier -- we have become accustomed to more relevant and more responsible answers from you. Shall we talk about it?"

Paris St Germain (PSG) coach Christophe Galtier and striker Kylian Mbappe have been facing a backlash for laughing off a question about why the team took a private jet for a short trip to a game in Nantes last weekend, instead of using more eco-friendly trains. Quizzed on PSG’s jet trip to Nantes at a news conference on Monday, Galtier and Mbappe looked at each other and the World Cup winner burst out laughing as his coach responded with a quip. PSG coach, striker Mbappe face backlash for laughing off a question about why the team took a private jet for a short trip.

PSG was under pressure in the final 10 minutes and Manuel Locatelli almost made the most of a mistake from Nordi Mukiele. A mistake from Donnarumma then gave Juventus hope of snatching a point. “He played a great game with two great goals,“ PSG coach Christophe Galtier said. PSG doubled its lead soon after at the conclusion of a fine move of one-touch football ignited by Marco Verratti. PSG threatened down the left side with Nuno Mendes’ pace and dribbles and broke the deadlock just five minutes into the game. Juventus had a good 10-minute spell in the second half after American midfielder Weston McKennie pulled one back, ensuring a tense finale.

Paris, Sept 6, 2022 (AFP) - Kylian Mbappe produced two lethal first-half finishes as Paris Saint-Germain got their latest bid for Champions League success ...

Mbappe, coming in from the left, supplied Neymar before continuing into the box to meet the Brazilian's delightful return pass with a volley across goalkeeper Mattia Perin and into the far corner. He needed just five minutes to open the scoring on a balmy evening at the Parc des Princes after linking up brilliantly with Neymar, one of his rivals for the limelight in PSG's squad of superstars. Mbappe signed a new deal in Paris to 2025 with the aim of leading his hometown team to a first Champions League title after a decade of disappointing defeats and occasional humiliations at the business end of the competition.

Not for the first time on the Champions League stage, star-laden PSG sprinkled moments of greatness into a match it should have fully controlled.

And the fact it wasn’t suggests exactly why PSG has so often disappointed in Europe and why doubts remain about its ability to cross that final barrier. PSG was able to hold the ball for long periods and run down the clock. For the first, scored after five minutes, Mbappé pushed the ball to Neymar and then accelerated into the box, smashing in a volley as the Brazilian scooped the ball over the Juventus defense. By the mid-point of the first half it seemed Juventus had been reduced to damage limitation. But it’s one thing to dazzle in France, quite another to do so in the Champions League. Then it became self-indulgent, and by the end, while it was never exactly hanging on, it was definitely anxious.

Le PSG, Manchester City et le Real Madrid ont connu une bonne entrée en matière en Ligue des champions.

Et la première surprise de cette saison de Ligue des champions s'appelle le Dinamo Zagreb! Et ils se sont ensuite heurtés en vain à la défense de l'équipe croate, malgré leurs recrues Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling et Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Mais l'équipe de Carlo Ancelotti a de la ressource. Au Celtic Park, les Madrilènes ont vécu une soirée contrastée, bousculés sur le terrain par les Écossais, à l'image du poteau trouvé par Callum McGregor (21e). Croyez-moi que je suis concerné sur les problèmes de climat, de notre planète, je sais la responsabilité que nous avons. Ils rejoignent en tête du groupe H l'équipe de Benfica, tombeuse du Maccabi Haïfa 2-0, adversaire du PSG la semaine prochaine.

Mbappé and Neymar dazzled at times in a win over Juventus but the flaws that accompany team's flair must be addressed.

It was there as Mbappé veered in on goal and shot wide from a silly angle with Neymar howling and waving his arms like a drowning man in the middle. When other teams take the ball away what Paris often seem to lack is a way of playing that is neither thrilling bursts nor spells of sudden passivity; but which is just a sense of playing, holding their ground, existing comfortably in the middle gears. And it does still seem credible a team with Ramos in it could win the Champions League, just as it was tempting in that first half to conclude PSG are finally reaching critical mass. It was there after half-time as Juventus switched to a high-pressing flat back four and changed the game. At one point he cleared the ball off the line with a super-slick prone back-heel. The haters are a little harsh on Neymar (the haters cant help it: it’s in their nature). For all the notes of frustration he is a relentlessly productive footballer. And it should be said, the pass really was a thing of beauty, a moment all of its own, spinning in space. Neymar knows this pattern too, knows to thread the ball into that space. Christophe Galtier may look like a charismatic 1980s small-town mayor on his way to have a long lunch with his personal assistant, but he has a clear and sober plan. Paris have duly scored 24 goals in six league games (although this is of course the default: what are these outsize superstars doing here, if not this?). Galtier has tinkered minutely with his formation, with the idea that his starry front three simply need proximity, interplay, time to learn one another’s game more intensely.

Etre plus tueur quand l’occasion se présente, savoir mieux gérer les temps faibles et faire le dos rond, défendre en bloc, au moins les axes de travail sont-ils connus pour ce Paris Saint-Germain qui, au fond, a plus de motifs de satisfaction à sortir de ce match contre la Juve que de problèmes à régler. En effet, dans la foulée du 2-1, on a senti un PSG tout d’un coup moins sûr de lui, des passes moins assurées, des contrôles manqués, et il a fallu que [Marquinhos](https://www.20minutes.fr/dossier/marquinhos) était d’accord avec nous : « Il faut savoir profiter des bons moments et rester costauds dans les moments difficiles, c’est ce qu’on a su faire ce soir. « Finalement, la Juve revient au score, résumait [Christophe Galtier](https://www.20minutes.fr/dossier/christophe_galtier) en conférence de presse après le match. [Neymar](https://www.20minutes.fr/sport/neymar/), idéalement placé au second poteau en tout début de seconde période, pour ce qui devait être le but du K.-O. Car si les hommes de Massimiliano Allegri ont finalement retrouvé un peu d’allant en seconde période, après avoir pris le bouillon durant toute la première mi-temps, ils le doivent en grande partie aux Parisiens, coupables de n’avoir su tuer le match au moment où la Vieille Dame n’attendait qu’une chose, qu’on la pousse une bonne fois pour toutes dans les orties.

Le score en reste là malgré un coup franc travaillé par Neymar qui flirte avec la barre transversale (86e) et une reprise de volée du Brésilien parée par Perin. Le Brésilien prend sa chance sans succès (81e). Le Serbe centre au second poteau et l'entrant McKennie bénéficie d'une sortie ratée de Donnarumma pour inscrire son but (53e, 2-1). Neymar lui adresse une louche somptueuse dans le dos de la défense que le Français reprend de volée (5e, 1-0). Et le dernier frisson de la mi-temps est à mettre au crédit de Neymar, qui s'écroule dans la surface après des dribbles et des contres favorables. Si sur la première action, Nuno Mendes, trouvé par Neymar dans la surface, voit son centre contré par Bonucci (3e), Mbappé ouvre très vite le score.
