Several PSG players expressed their feelings after the comeback against Manchester City on Wednesday at the Parc.
Gigio Donnarumma (PSG goalkeeper, after the 4-2 victory against Manchester City ) : “An incredible match! Lots of emotions. We had a great match. Too bad for the start of the second half, we conceded two goals… a bit like that. But afterwards the reaction from the team was incredible, the team was incredible. Everyone had an incredible match and the fans too, incredible. All of PSG have been incredible. (…) This match gave a lot of confidence in our game. We continued like that. We have another important Champions League match. We are going to enjoy this evening but from tomorrow, we will have to think about the championship and then the C1, it is fundamental for us. My fondest memory with PSG? Yes. Reference match? We had a job match and I'm very happy to have helped the team. We will continue like this. The change of face? We started… not badly, but we conceded two goals that we could have avoided. But afterwards, the reaction of the team was fundamental to winning this type of match. (comments collected in mixed zone)
Joao Neves (PSG midfielder) : “There are emotions that mix. We dominated in the first half, we could have started the second half better, they took control but even being down 0-2 we managed to come back. I'm very happy for the team, that's the most important thing. We stayed true to our ideas, our philosophy, that’s the secret. This is an important victory. Man of the match? I say it often, but individual trophies are not important. I'm happy, that's for sure, but I'm even happier with the victory. The ranking? There is one match left and it is the most important. We will face Reims on Saturday. We are focused on that.” (on Canal+)

We can do great things if we continue with this mentality.
-Achraf Hakimi
Achraf Hakimi (PSG defender) : “It’s one of the craziest matches (I’ve experienced at PSG). The feeling of the remontada was magnificent, incredible. The team deserves this victory. Since the start of the season, it hasn't been easy, we lost matches that we didn't deserve to lose, we created a lot of chances and we deserved to win. Fortunately, today luck turned on our side. Fear at 0-2? No, I'm not afraid of anything. When you're down 0-2, there's no need to be afraid. At that point you have to pick your head up and keep going, you have nothing to lose. This team will always believe until the end. We quickly scored 1-2 and we saw that it was possible. That's why we put the second and third. The crazy atmosphere? Yes and not just at the stadium, outside too. On the bus, we felt the support of the supporters. And of course also on the ground. They are behind us in all the matches, even when we were down 1 and 2-0, they sang, they gave us strength. The character and mentality that they showed in the stands, we showed on the pitch. Reference match? In any case, it is a match which gives more confidence for the future. We know that the second part of the season will be very difficult. We achieved something very difficult, a comeback against a great team like City. We can do great things if we continue with this mentality.” (comments collected in mixed zone)
