Paris Saint-Germain defeats Inter Milan

The International Champions Cup is an exhibition tournament involving 17 teams playing on four different continents.

Manager Unai Emery and midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa were both introduced at Paris Saint-Germain during a press conference.

The 29-year-old Frenchman took his sixth ATP title, his first since 2014 at Montpellier, first outside of Europe and first outdoor trophy since the Sopot Open in 2005 while claiming the top prize of US$348,200 (S$474,000). “It was important as a team that we built the confidence of the players”.

Finally two-goal Man of the Match victor Aurier, who hasn’t always enjoyed the happiest of times in the past few months, feels we can look to more positives than negatives from this match with him thankful to the fans who will follow us wherever we play.

Layvin Kurzawa bent a free kick around the wall and into the left corner of the goal in the 61st minute past a diving Samir Handanovic to give PSG a 2-1 lead.

As for the match itself, Mancini said: “We played for 60 minutes with the senior players and afterward it was hard”.

In addition to the new manager, PSG will also need to adjust to the departure of enigmatic forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who signed with Manchester United earlier this month.

PSG stars Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani and Thomas Meunier entered as subs in the second half.

“The important part was that we had the participation of all the players, especially the senior ones”, Emery said. “It was good for the players” fitness, but also for demonstrating our team’s philosophy and how we want to play’.

Aside from an own goal by David Luiz in the match against Bromwich, and a handball by Moura in the first ICC match, PSG have shown incredible work based off Emery’s leadership. Alphonse Areola made a save on a free kick, and defender Thiago helped the PSG goalkeeper out with a block on a rocket off the foot of Stevan Jovetic in the 38th minute. Jovetic scored on a penalty kick to even the score 1-1 just before the intermission.

Jovetic tested substitute goalkeeper Kevin Trapp with a stinging 25-yard effort after the break, while at the other end Aurier nearly fluked one in from a right-wing centre that hit the crossbar.

In the 87th minute, with Inter still reeling, Aurier put the finishing touch on the match when he netted a soaring header on a cross from Alec Georgen to make the score 3-1.
