After PSG’s 1-0 defeat in Munich marked by the expulsion of Dembélé in the 57th minute, Marquinhos fulminated against the refereeing of Mr. Kovacs at the microphone of Canal+. Because in addition to this expulsion which may have seemed harsh, the Brazilian considered that all the doubtful parts of the match were refereed in favor of the Germans.
Marquinhos, tell us about the goal conceded, you who were very close to the action. Have you heard Matvey Safonov?
“I asked the referee what happened, because there was a player very close to our goalkeeper, who was blocking him. He didn’t play the ball. It’s difficult for him. We could hear it, yes. He tried to kick the ball out. We know how important corners are, especially in a game like this. Last year, we were trapped on a corner against Dortmund (in the Champions League semi-finals).
“I don’t like to talk about the refereeing, but it was really difficult against us”
I don’t like to talk about the refereeing, but it was really difficult against us. He didn’t make it easy for us at all. All doubts have been resolved for Bayern Munich. On goal, he was told that a player was completely blocking the goalkeeper. He made his decision and didn’t give us any fault. »
What did PSG lack to compete with Bayern Munich?
“Physically, they were more ready than us for the fight. We got better in the duels as we progressed, and managed to get some counter-attacks in transition. We knew they were going to press from the first minute. We wanted to take the spaces behind them from midfield, with their pressing. It was a close game in the first half. We tried to pressure them with our philosophy, but we took too many risks. We changed in the second half. The coach started (Achraf) Hakimi and brought me closer to Kingsley (Coman), to manage the depth. Red made things difficult for us. »
Are you worried?
“If we look at the rankings we are worried, that’s normal”
“If we look at the rankings we are worried, that’s normal. We don’t know what will happen. We have three finals to play: two away matches to get maximum points and a big match at home against Manchester City. Our goal is always to qualify. We didn’t come here not to stay behind, you saw that I think. We tried to win this match, to press and move forward, even with ten men. We need points. »
