UCL: They were disastrous – Capello slams two PSG stars

Following PSG’s disappointing loss to Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League semifinal second leg on Tuesday, former England manager Fabio Capello didn’t hold back his criticism of Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembele’s performance on the wings.

Despite the Parisians’ treble hopes coming to an end, Capello highlighted the duo’s failure to make any significant impact from the flanks, describing their contributions as disastrous and lacking in dangerous crosses.

“(Kylian) Mbappe didn’t do much, and he had a chance to score, but, usually, Hakimi on the right flank does something, same as Dembele,” Capello said (as per Football Italia).

“They were disastrous. They didn’t make a dangerous cross.”

Capello added, “the coach should have made substitutions earlier. When he put in faster players in the second part of the match, we saw a different PSG, but those who started played too simply.”
