On Saturday, March 30, 2024, the Girondins de Bordeaux played in their 30th match of the Ligue 2 BKT at home against Paris FC. The game took place at the Stade Matmut Atlantique. Albert Riera’s players managed to secure a draw early in stoppage time of the second half (3-3) after being behind in a match they didn’t fully control.
Karl-Johan Johnsson, the Swedish goalkeeper, had to make several crucial saves in the game. However, he was at fault for the 2-3 goal by causing a penalty. Clément Michelin struggled in his new position as left-back, while Yoann Barbet showed flashes of brilliance but also made mistakes. Malcom Bokélé was more combative after being repositioned in the second half, showing improvement.
In the midfield, Gaétan Weissbeck was not able to showcase his true level, showing inconsistency throughout the season. Pedro Diaz replaced Ignatenko and gradually found his rhythm, scoring the equalizer in the 3-3 draw. Alexi Pitu struggled in his role as a midfielder, being replaced by Sissokho. Zuriko Davitashvili had a good performance, scoring a goal and providing an assist. Zan Vipotnik, however, had limited impact on the game and was replaced.
Jérémy Livolant showed glimpses of his potential but struggled to make a significant impact. Albert Riera’s tactical decisions were questioned, especially his choice to start Biumla after a long absence. The team lacked a defensive midfielder, which led to struggles in the first half.
The editorial team’s ratings for the players and the coach were as follows: Johnsson: 4, Michelin: 3, Barbet: 5, Bokélé: 6, Biumla: 3, Weissbeck: 3, Diaz: 7, Pitu: 3, Davitashvili: 7, Vipotnik: 2, Livolant: 5, Riera: 3.
