In the world of football, there can be joys and sorrows overnight, just like a plot reversal in a blockbuster movie. Tonight, there were three dramatic games in European football: Paris was like a chariot in the wind, Atletico Madrid unexpectedly fell on their home turf, and Villa was drenched in cold water by Chelsea on their own grass.
Paris Saint-Germain's 3-1 win over Brest in the French Cup was like a routine for them, but the story behind the scoreline was much more than the numbers. Paris Saint-Germain had 60 per cent possession and had 20 shots on goal, with eight shots on target in exchange for three goals. Kylian Mbappe, Andreas Pereira and Gonzalo Ramos were dazzling with one goal each. Brest tried to counter-attack, but could not create more surprises other than a goal. This victory in Grand Paris is like telling the world that their wild surge is justified, and that the 15-game unbeaten streak is no accident.
In Spain, Atletico Madrid's home stadium turned out to be a place of tragedy for them, losing 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao. Against the backdrop of Barcelona and Real Madrid going out of the tournament, this defeat was a surprise. Atletico's frenzied shot went unscored from 20 attempts, while Athletic Bilbao seized a penalty opportunity to seal the game. This game makes people wonder, is Atletico Madrid's road to promotion confusing?
On the night in England, Aston Villa hosted Chelsea but lost 3-1. Aston Villa had the advantage of being at home, but Chelsea's attack was in full swing, with goals from Conor Gallagher, Jaxson and Enzo Fernandez crumbling Villa's defence. Although Diaby saved a bit of face for Villa in the final moments of the game, it was a drop in the bucket. For Chelsea, the win was not only the key to progress, but also a new starting point for them to break out of their winless streak.
This night of football made people feel emotionally volatile. The madness of Paris, the unexpected defeat of Atletico Madrid, the sinking of Villa's home stadium, each game has its own unique story, and each story is full of unknowns and possibilities.
Now, I would like to ask you guys, which of these three games do you focus on the most? The myth of unbeaten in Paris, Atletico Madrid's unexpected fall, or Villa's defeat and Chelsea's recovery?
