e first half was poor by both teams with a series of fouls and almost no good attempts. 5 Yellow cards were produced in the first half while the shot on target just counted to one. There was no measure to distinguish both teams. United had some good chances which brought Buffon into action and he denied both Rashford and Pogba. Mbappe also shot wide in the first half. Everything was good for United in the half expect the limping off of Martial and Lingard.

With the start of the second half, United was forced to take Martial and Lingard out for Mata and Sanchez. Second half was all about PSG who completely outclassed United. In no time, United fell behind. Eight minutes after the half, PSG got a corner, which former Uniteds player Di Maria took to find the Kimpembe. He arrived there getting away from Matic to head the goal and provide the lead for PSG.
The misery for United doubled at the hour mark and conceded the next one. Di Maria was involved again for this goal in the counter-attack. He got a perfect low ball into the box to find Mbappe who tapped it home to double the lead. A few minutes later, De Gea did his best to deny the third for PSG from Mbappe.
United tried to regain the composure in the second half but was in vain. Uniteds attack couldnt carry the ball to the final third after Martial and Lingard were taken out. Sanchez had the worse game without any shots and chances. United did try the luck with long shots and crosses from the wing but only to be denied by the impressive Thiago Silva and his back line. The misery worsens during the final minutes at Old Trafford after Pogba was sent off after second yellow cards.
To conclude, it was the first defeat for Solskjaer and proof of gap that is between PSG and United. PSG brilliantly outclassed United although they were without their star players. Thus, in Paris, it is going to be final CL match for United for this season as there is no way for United to overturn this deficit without Pogba and with the return of Neymar and Cavani.
without Neymar and Cavani nobody expected this clear win
