In an open meeting rich in goals, the Parisians ended up giving up their arms against the Blaugrana. “We had a good match against a very strong team. At 1-0, we had doubts, they did not lose the ball and played very well,” said Luis Enrique after the match.
“For us, it will be a final”
“We turned the match around in the second half, but they scored the third goal,” continued the Catalan coach, who therefore lost this first round against his former club (2014-2017). “We are going to go to Barcelona with a lot of desire. For us, it will be a final. I have confidence in my team.”
Trailing 1-0 after Raphinha’s opener (37th), the Parisians were able to turn the match around after returning from the locker room, with two goals in two minutes from Ousmane Dembélé (48th) and Vitinha (50th). But they were then surprised again by Raphinha (62nd) and Andreas Christensen (77th).
“We had good moments but it’s the details that make the difference. A goal from a corner, a goal from behind… These are details to correct for the return match,” commented Marquinhos on Canal+. Barça and PSG now meet this Tuesday April 16 in Barcelona for the second round (9 p.m. on RMC Sport 1).
