Champions League: How a rare tiebreaker cost PSG first in group and could result in a tougher knockout draw
CBSN
Finishing second behind Benfica could have knockout implications for the French giants
Gianluigi Donnarumma's reaction when speaking to Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier after Wednesday's 2-1 UEFA Champions League win away at Juventus said it all.
The Italy international appeared to ask his boss a question -- presumably about top spot in Group H -- and clearly did not expect the reply to be that SL Benfica pipped Les Parisiens to first place. Donnarumma's mix of surprise, disappointment, disbelief, and incredulity was shared by us all, though, as Benfica's 6-1 win away at Maccabi Haifa brough an obscure rule into play.
Roger Schmidt's men edged PSG for top spot through the away goals scored tiebreaker and needed right up until the end of time added on to clinch it. The disappointment will not match that felt by Olympique de Marseille players after their dramatic midweek exit from European soccer, but it was crushing in a different way.
