Draw in Lisbon (1-1), draw in Reims (0-0) and another draw against Benfica (1-1) this Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes: Paris remains undefeated but continues to perform without brilliance.

He remains at the top of his group at the end of the fourth day of the group stage of the Champions League.

Christophe Galtier, PSG coach, delivered his analysis at a press conference while his star, Kylian Mbappé, wishes behind the scenes to leave the club next January.

Does this third draw in a row mark a brake on PSG?

CHRISTOPHER GALTIER.

Yes, we can consider it that way.

When you are PSG, you have to win, to be more dangerous.

This match is nothing like the one in Lisbon, where both teams created more situations.

Is it the analysis of the two coaches that led to this match?

The defenses took over the attacks.

However, I think we used the ball better but in the last 30 meters, we did not manage to accelerate.

After a good start, your team shows no signs of progress.

How do you explain it?

The conclusion is correct.

We are less flashy, less brilliant.

Is it a blow less well on the physical level?

I do not think so.

We were going faster after the ball came out at the start of the season, there was more verticality.

Tonight (Tuesday), we added an extra touch, we went back.

This is an important line of work.

This leads to a global reflection on the first months, with some interesting things and some less so.

There is some thought to be had about bringing one or two players higher to be a bit more dangerous.

Mbappé wants to leave in January.

What do you know about this explosive file?

What I know ?

I know nothing.

A rumor became information and then a statement.

I find it surprising that this happens before a very important match.

I didn't see anything different in Kylian's preparation.

I never heard of that from Kylian or management.

Kylian was intense tonight, he was the most dangerous on the pitch.

He gave an answer to this rumor.

We stayed focused on the game.

I do not believe that this rumor disturbed the preparation for the match.

How did you face this media storm this Tuesday?

I did not broach the subject either with my players or with the staff.

It was an important match.

I haven't seen players disturbed by this rumour.

We only stayed on the preparation for the match.

Are you surprised?

Of course I'm surprised.

It's a rumour.

Whether it comes out four or five hours before the match, I have the right to be arrested.

Who is this rumor for?

Especially not to us.
