Paris Saint-Germain managed only a draw against PSV Eindhoven (1-1) on Tuesday night in the Champions League, despite several missed opportunities.
PSG dominated the match from the start but failed to convert their chances, notably with Dembélé missing key opportunities. The PSV opened the scoring in the 34th minute through Lang, capitalizing on a defensive error.
In the second half, PSG equalized with a shot from Hakimi (55th minute) and continued to control the game. However, they could not find a winning goal. A controversial VAR decision led to the cancellation of a late penalty for PSG. The team will need to improve its offensive efficiency ahead of their next match against Olympique de Marseille in Ligue 1.
