The player: Yann Genty

He defeated the Istres attackers for 7 minutes, which allowed PSG to break away.
In total, he made 8 saves for 47% efficiency.
The reaction: Yann Genty, PSG goalkeeper
“We can say that the score is severe for Istres.
They had a great game.
But it was hard for them to continue at the same pace as in the first half.
We know we have to raise our level when it's like that.
All the teams want to beat us.
The priority for the club is the Champions League but we also want to remain undefeated in the league.
The sequence of matches is complicated for organizations.
