The Parisian coach delivers his feelings after the difficult Parisian qualification against Barça in C1.  


At the Parc des Princes

The excitement of PSG, especially in the first half

: “5-2 after 180 minutes (the cumulative score over the two matches, note), I am still very happy to have made it to the quarter-finals of the Ligue des champions.

It's not nothing.

It's a huge relief to be qualified, just two months after arriving in Paris.

I have heard of a lot of negative things.

I am very happy with the qualification. ” 

The half-time speech

 : “The first half did not go as we wanted, the players are the first to know.

We were disappointed with the first half.

It was not always easy to recover.

We suffered.

We fixed some things in the second period.

We raised our level of play, our attention and our aggressiveness.

We were better with the ball, up to what the team has already shown.

We are happy to move into quarters, it's very important for the club. "  

Keylor Navas

 : “He was incredible, he had a crazy evening… He helped the team enormously, it is largely thanks to him that we move into the quarterfinals.

He did a wonderful job.

He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he demonstrated it at the Parc des Princes. ”

Abdou Diallo, who entered the game at half-time

: “This is what we expect when we bring in a player.

He had a big impact from the first five minutes of the second half.

His performance was a great help in achieving this great result. ”  

Fear of letting qualification slip away during the match

: “The start of the match was difficult, we struggled to enter the match.

We were losing the ball too quickly and we weren't aggressive enough to get it back.

Kylian Mbappé's penalty and Lionel Messi's stoppage at the very end of the first period relieved us and gave us energy for the second half.

At half-time, we were able to correct some things.

We are not happy with the start of the match.

We all thought we were going to start in a different way. "
