The Parisian defender delivers his analysis after the 2-3 defeat against FC Barcelona, Wednesday, at the Parc des Princes, in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League.
Lucas Hernandez (PSG defender, after the 2-3 defeat against Barça ) : “It’s a big disappointment. Afterwards, it was a complicated match, it came down to small details. Unfortunately, it went the other way… Qualification remains possible. I am convinced that we will go there to give everything and to seek qualification. Reasons for hope? Already, there is a Champions League semi-final awaiting us (smile). We are all motivated, we all want to qualify. With this team and this coach, I know that we will do everything to achieve it. What details? I especially think of the third goal, a corner. This is completely avoidable. We started the second half very well, we turned the situation around, we led 2-1. We must try to improve the strong moments, weak moments, try to have more of the ball and make the opponent run more in these moments. But I am confident, we have the team for it, we will go to Barcelona to win the match and qualify.
The depth ? Yes, in the first half they played well with this numerical superiority in midfield, they created a lot of danger with that. In the second half, we resolved the problem. But the goal of the 2-2, I think these are tactical adjustments to be made… But once again, I am confident, we are all confident, we will go to Barcelona to seek this qualification.
