Consequently, whenever Olise received the ball, PSG immediately doubled up on the 24-year-old. The FCB winger rarely got the chance to use his pace to reach the byline or cut inside and shoot with his dangerous left foot.
At full-time, Safonov's pass completion sat at just 21%—only seven of 33 attempts reached a teammate—while Manuel Neuer, his opposite number, boasted a 70% success rate.
Olise's own numbers tell the story: he created only two chances, and his shot count (2), touches in the box (8) and final-third passes (5) all undershot his recent standards.
