Tuesday’s 1-1 home draw in the league stage against Dutch leader PSV Eindhoven exposed familiar weaknesses in defense while PSG no longer has galacticos like Kylian Mbappé or Lionel Messi to decide tight matches. PSG lost 2-0 away to Arsenal in its previous game after poor defending and needed a huge stoppage-time blunder from the visiting goalkeeper to scrape a 1-0 home win against Girona in its opener.
