Beaten by Bayern Munich (1-0) in the Champions League, PSG saw its hopes of a positive result dashed by an aerial error from Matvey Safonov. However, the Russian goalkeeper, preferred to Donnarumma, made several decisive saves which helped limit the damage.
In the mixed zone of the Allianz Arena, João Neves, one of the most prominent players on the Parisian side, defended his teammate, reminding us that football remains above all a team sport: “We are a team, it's not Matvey Safonov's fault, it's everyone's mistakes, not just one man's mistake. When a striker scores, it's not just the striker , it's the whole team and that also applies to mistakes. These are things that are part of football but we are a group, we are teammates.
A strong speech which reflects the state of mind of the young Portuguese midfielder, keen to protect a collective in difficulty. Despite this frustrating defeat, these words reflect the desire to remain united to raise our heads. A message that supporters hope to see come to fruition in the next round.
