PSG-Bayern: Benjamin Pavard "hopes that Paris will win the Champions League"

This is called a class reaction.

Asked at the microphone of RMC Sport in the wake of the elimination in the Champions League of his club Bayern Munich by PSG on Tuesday evening, French defender Benjamin Pavard wished the Parisians good luck for the rest of the competition.

“I hope Paris will win the Champions League.

Being French, I hope they will be able to lift it, ”said the world champion, holder in the outward journey as in the return on the right side of the Bavarian rearguard.

This does not prevent the former Lille from having regrets about the scenario of the two games.

After having estimated in the wake of the defeat (2-3) of the first leg that Bayern "deserved to win the match", said Tuesday evening "very disappointed", again evoking the scenario of the first leg which has weighed down the Bavarians, eliminated despite their victory in Paris (1-0).

“Today, Paris made its match.

They had a lot of chances, we had some too.

They deserve their qualification.

Congratulations to Paris, ”said Benjamin Pavard.

"They have a big team"

The right side also named the man who, in his eyes, allowed the Parisians to leave the reigning European champions: Kylian Mbappé, author of a double in the first leg and author of a full match on Tuesday night .

“We know Kylian's qualities,” said Benjamin Pavard.

He put himself at the service of the collective.

He defended, he attacked.

He's a world-class player, who is very dangerous.

You should not leave it a lot of spaces, otherwise it can be a big deal.

They have a big team.

"

His coach, Hansi Flick, did not have quite the same speech in the wake of the match.

Annoyed by the missed opportunities by his players, the German technician estimated at a press conference that “in both games” Bayern Munich “had been the best team”.
