Champions League reality check for PSG

PARIS (AP):

Napoli gave Paris Saint-Germain another reality check in the Champions League. Only a superb injury-time equaliser from Angel Di Maria rescued a 2-2 draw for PSG yesterday and saved the French club from a second loss in Group C. The Argentina winger curled the ball past goalkeeper David Ospina into the top left corner from the edge of the penalty area three minutes into stoppage time.

It was a moment of individual brilliance from one of PSG's many stars, but it did little to mask the many deficiencies in the line-up. In terms of discipline, tactical nous and concentration, PSG were no match for Napoli.

"We're unable to stick to our way of playing," PSG coach Thomas Tuchel said. "We need to play more reliably."

Napoli sliced through PSG's midfield and punished their defence with alarming ease. In France, PSG have won 10 straight league games and seem to score for fun . But in Europe, PSG are winless against the big teams having lost 3-2 to Liverpool.

"We need to improve, that's for sure," Tuchel said.

Despite the equaliser, PSG star Neymar appeared to be frustrated with the result. The Brazil forward marched straight off without shaking hands with any rival players and kicked a plastic protective casing around a television camera.

Forward Lorenzo Insigne put Napoli ahead in the 29th with a cool finish and PSG equalised in the 61st from Napoli defender Mario Rui's own goal.

Forward Dries Mertens poked home from close range in the 77th after a sloppy mistake from centre half Marquinhos, who failed to deal with a ball into the penalty area.
