The Bayern Munich he got the PSG. With yesterday’s victory obtained at home against Luis Enrique and his boys 1-0 (the former Napoli player Kim scored), the Bavarians have revolutionized the rankings, momentarily jumping to 11th place. Pushing Parisians a little further back in the hierarchies of Champions Leaguealso thanks to the results of 3 defeats, only one victory and a draw so far. But in this match everything really happened, from the omelette committed by Safonov on the way out, to the double yellow card received by Démbelé.
Luis EnriquePSG coach, appeared at the press conference to comment on the outcome of the match: “In the first half we weren’t too far behind, but we weren’t able to overcome the pressure. They recovered the ball too easily. We were very inferior in the first half. There was reason for hope in the second half. The expulsion was a serious mistake on our part. Playing with 10 men against Bayern is difficult. There is no doubt that our opponents deserved to win. All decisions are my responsibility and I accept them.”
Afterwards in a post-match interview given to Canal+the Spanish coach was questioned about Safonov’s role in the goal conceded. Clearly taking the defense of his goalkeeper – who stole Donnarumma’s place -: “The responsibility is global, it belongs to the whole team, for good or bad things. We don’t have to look for someone to blame. We cannot look for heroes or culprits,” he began.
Don’t you think PSG are making too many excuses? Faced with this question, Luis Enrique commented bluntly, commenting on the three defeats suffered on the European field: “No, I don’t agree at all. Our team has a very interesting project, based on the future. We have shown in many matches that we are up to the task. Even when we lose, we always want to attack. We are always looking for someone to blame. If anyone is to blame, it’s me. I’m the one responsible. That’s it. From now on I accept all criticism.”
