Qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League despite their defeat, the Parisians admit that they had passed very close to the abyss on Tuesday evening against Aston Villa (3-2).
At the final whistle, the Parisians alternated between two feelings on the lawn of Villa Park. The relief of having avoided a sinking and the joy of a qualification in the semi-final of the Champions League. The fifth in the history of PSG and the fourth in six years.
« We have gone the difficult task, even if Aston Villa has put a lot of pressure, recognizes Ousmane Dembélé at the microphone of Canal +. We completely released ourselves in the second half. We thought we were too beautiful. At 2-1, we thought we had already qualified. The Champions League is like that. You can fall against teams that can overturn matches. You will have to be more demanding in the semi-finals. ”
Same feeling on the side of Vitinha: “We always want to win, but the most important is qualification. We faced a good team, in an incredible atmosphere. We managed to qualify, we are happy. It’s not easy to be in the semi-finals.»
For Marquinhos, present at the club for twelve years, the word of the end: “I have known difficult times, you have to savor this one.»
