On March 6, 2019, after brilliantly winning the first leg with a score of two goals to zero at Old Trafford, Paris Saint-Germain completely collapsed at home against Manchester United (1-3) in the round of 16. final return of the Champions League. This elimination, in addition to the famous comeback against FC Barcelona, is probably the most heartbreaking of the QSI era as the Parisians seemed to have done the hardest and seemed armed to go far that year. Still bitter about this defeat, Gianluigi Buffon, who suffered twice in this match, once again returned to this slap in an interview with Corriere della Serra.
For Buffon, PSG had not prepared well!
For him, the team had not prepared well enough for this match: “I understood that we were poorly preparing for the return after the first leg victory. But I didn't say it: I was the last to arrive, maybe I still had a provincial mentality, Mbappé had barely won the World Cup… We took an entry goal for a defensive error, the second is also my fault for an inaccuracy, then the third. We were eliminated. We had not prepared well for the return” he regretted. The 2006 world champion has often even confided that this defeat was one of the most regrets of his career, as he was convinced that this PSG had the opportunity to win the edition this year – there.
