"To begin, I'm going to tell you about my bad taste joke on a very sensitive subject," says Christophe Galtier.

Here, at PSG, we are not above ground.

Staff, players, we all pay attention to the problem of the climate.

In any case, we do anything.

I don't have to apologize it was a joke in bad taste.

At the club, we are all concerned by climate problems.

Did the match meet your expectations?

CHRISTOPHER GALTIER

.

We had some big highlights in the first half.

We lead to the score logically, we have conceded a situation of course.

I was satisfied with the way of combining, we defended well as a team block, sometimes low, it was wanted to save recovery time.

I was very satisfied technically and tactically.

When you lead 2-0, there is always that famous third goal.

He fell on the wrong side.

We are badly placed on the corner from the start.

It was expected that we would be better placed on the corners taken at two and that gives a lot of hope to our opponent who had changed organization in the second half.

It made the match very open.

We have the opportunity to score the third goal, which would have made the game very quiet.

This is also the Champions League.

Are you congratulating Kylian Mbappé or pulling his ear for forgetting Neymar for a potential 3-0?

He played a great game, with two magnificent goals.

I did not review the match but I imagine that you analyzed this action.

It is also the obsession of a striker who wants to score.

You tell me that Neymar is unmarked, I trust you but has Kylian seen him?

I do not know.

Was the pass possible?

In any case, I am very satisfied with the match of the three attacking players, who gave a lively and alert game, being connected to the midfielders.

Does the Vitinha - Verratti duo give you any guarantees?

They are well connected them two!

With all the others, the front three, the back three.

This pair gives us satisfaction but they chain the matches.

We will have to find other pairs.

With the three players in front of them, it takes a lot of physical effort.

But we know the importance of Verratti in this team.

But we will have to find other pairs.
