The Maccabi Haifa coach after the respectable loss against PSG: "Even when you're leading against a team like this, you can't feel comfortable. In the second half we felt too comfortable and we felt that we were in control of the game"


Despite presenting one of its biggest games in recent years, Maccabi Haifa lost tonight (Wednesday) 3:1 to Paris Saint-Germain in the second round of the Champions League.

The Israeli champions raised their hands only after a turnaround of the star team in Sami Ofer when Charon Sherry gave the greens an incredible lead (24).

But then Mbappe equalized for Messi (37), who returned it with his own header in the 69th minute.

Neymar completed the big celebration in the 88th minute.

Green fans can be pleased.

Barak Becher said at the end: "I think that even in the second half we felt too comfortable and we felt that we were controlling the game and reaching halftimes."

We knew we would be punished for any mistake, certainly with players at this level.

With a little more luck we could have scored another.

"We gave our best and I'm proud of the players, we'll learn from this going forward. Even when you're leading by two goals against a team like this, you can't feel comfortable, and that's what I'm most proud of. We pressed, dominated and got into situations, but even though it's a cliché to say, their quality was decisive in the end."

The Maccabi Haifa coach added: "We knew that there would be minutes that we would dominate and that we would be better and that's how we really conceded the goals, still professionally we could have done things better and moved the ball smarter in part of the game, but in such a situation against such a team we really did our best.

"I don't look at goals and we could have scored more and made a better result. If Sherry conquers the stationary situation we draw an amazing draw here."
