It's not often Bukayo Saka is limited to doing little in a football match, but PSG did a brilliant job of ensuring that was the case on Tuesday night.

The winger was often doubled or tripled up on down the flank, meaning he was prevented from making his typical cuts inside to shoot or cross. He was regularly forced to keep the ball on his weak foot which massively reduced the danger he could pose.

Saka managed just one attempt at goal all game, an effort from the edge that Gianluigi Donnarumma held with ease. Being a constant target of PSG to defend and deal with, he was always going to find it difficult to cause problems and that was clearly the case in a lacklustre performance.
