Paris Saint-Germain was beaten at home by Atletico Madrid although the locals multiplied their scoring chances. In addition to Warren Zaire-Emery's opener, Luis Enrique's men came up against Jan Oblak. A lack of realism which shocks the Spanish coach to the highest degree.
Certainly, the PSG can't do it in this new Champions League format. At the end of the 4th day of the regular season, the French champion and semi-finalist of the last edition of the C1 only had one victory for one draw and two defeats. Which means that the PSG is in 25th place and virtually not qualified for the 1/16 finals. Tuesday evening, the men of Luis Enrique lost in the very last seconds of the match when receiving theAtletico Madrid (2-1).
“There are no words”
Luis Enrique will have tried everything. The coach of PSG made 5 changes during the match, witnessed 9 shots on target from his team, for 870 passes and 71% possession. But it wasn't enough to score more than one goal despite the clear situations. Enough to leave the coach speechless Paris Saint–Germain at the microphone of Canal+. “There are no words. I believe that in our three home matches, we were infinitely superior to our opponents but we were unlucky. As long as we have matches, we will fight.”
“I have more than 30 years in football and I can’t explain that”
After the defeat conceded by the PSG in the final moments of the match due to a goal fromAngel Correa served by Antoine GriezmannLuis Enrique admitted to having never experienced such concern for realism during his career as a coach, but also as a player. “I have more than 30 years in football and I can’t explain that. It's bad luck. We were infinitely superior to our opponent.”
