What are your immediate impressions of your performance?
We can only be disappointed. As competitors, we are always disappointed to lose, always disappointed to concede goals. These two goals are two gifts. Afterwards, there is no one at fault, and it always takes mistakes to score goals. Collectively, I think we could also have been a little better at the start of the match, done worse… But that's how it is. It's part of football. We tried to come back, but it was complicated…
In particular, you were largely dominated in the first round. How do you explain it?
They were above it. We knew their offensive qualities, we were warned. Afterwards, we know very well that at this level, it comes down to errors. On details. At 2-0, we are chasing the score but it's complicated. Opposite, there was a solid and united team.
What will you remember from this match?
That errors are made to be corrected. You have to learn, learn from it and keep moving forward. But I also think we have the right to miss a match. It's the first meeting we've missed in the Champions League. No one is going to blame us. Now we need to rest, we'll think about all that a little later. We have an important match this weekend (in Le Havre, in the championship).
-There was talk of Top 8 before the meeting. We knew it would result in a victory this Wednesday evening. Have you given up on this ambition?
Between us, we just talked about being able to create something beautiful. The top 8, I think at the beginning, no one saw us in it. But in the top 24, or in the Top 36 either! We take what we can take. This will not stop us from continuing to work and giving our best.
