A commentator covering PSG’s UEFA Youth League match against Manchester City could barely contain himself after a brilliant piece of skill helped create the visitors’ second goal.
Maoula Niakate lifted the ball over a defender, turned and accelerated towards the penalty area, prompting a prolonged roar of disbelief from the French-language commentary team.
The move had an end product, too. Niakate’s shot was blocked, but Adam Ayari collected the loose ball and finished to put PSG 2–0 ahead.
That proved to be the final score in Wednesday afternoon’s match at City’s Academy Stadium, with Mamadou Meite having scored the opener.
The skill was impressive enough on its own, but the soundtrack gave the clip another reason to be shared. The commentator’s reaction began before the finish, as Niakate’s flick turned a ball near halfway into a dangerous attack.
PSG’s youngsters finished the afternoon with their second win from two Youth League matches.
