“The final result is not fair for us. We did not deserve it. We strived a lot, the team tried since minute 1’ to play an open match and to face a strong opponent.
If you lose your concentration, you will pay for that. So did we; we paid for our poor display in set pieces.
I think that things will be better as we move on. The fans stood by us and we want to thank them for acknowledging our efforts”.
Gaetan Bong
“Certainly, we did not deserve a 1-4 loss. We were very good especially in the first half; we could have easily taken the lead before the break. We conceded three goals out of set pieces, and this is what’s really bad about that.
We must continue the same good work in order to win the next match. PSG was great in set-pieces, while we performed poorly. In champions League, this cannot be forgiven.
I played although injured, but there was no way I lose that match. I bit the bullet and I hope I helped my team, although I did not help as much as I wanted.
We have to important matches ahead, against Anderlecht and Benfica, and we should do the best we can”.
Vladimir Weiss
“Indeed, the crowd was fantastic; they were next to us from the very first minute and supported us massively. The first goal kind of “froze” the stadium, but the fans themselves helped us to score the equalizer; they were amazing. The fact that they encouraged and spurred us until the last minute shows that they will be with us until the end.
Every match differs; I don’t know how we will face the next fixture. Tonight, we played as we have been prepared to do. We could have taken a 3-1 lead, but it didn’t turn out that way. From now on, we will reflect on how to deal with next fixtures”.
David Fuster
”We were very good until 60-65’ and solid with our tactics. Until that moment, the match evolved really nice. But then, it turned into a disaster. We lost all challenges in set pieces and we paid dearly for that. We have also to say that we have been really unlucky.
Especially in the opening minutes, we hit the woodwork twice and created several chances to take the lead. The final score is heavy to bear. We must overcome this loss and fight all matches to follow”.
Ending, with respect to the match against Anderlecht in Belgium, he said: “This is a very difficult match. We will give everything to take the result we need from that”..
Paulo Machado
“We had to play against a great team. We were superb in the first half, exercised a lot of pressure over a team of top players and the 1-1 draw before the break did not do us justice. We deserved at least one more goal before the break, which would have changed completely the outlook of the second half. After a certain moment, PSG put too much pressure on us and that led us to mistakes. We were careless during set pieces and we paid the cost for that. Our second-half display was not due to our physical fitness, but to the quality of PSG who found ways to put us under a lot of pressure. Nothing is over for us, and we are going to Belgium for the win”.
Alejandro Dominguez
“The 1-1 draw before the break was not fair , since we had the chances and we could have been in the lead. We kept the ball and played well.
The second half was very different. We made a lot of mistakes, especially in set pieces; however, we must learn from these mistakes in order to do better in the future”.
Roberto Jimenez Gago
“No matter how well one plays, one must never feel relaxed against such teams, not even for a single moment. One should keep his composure. We made mistakes and we paid the cost”.
On whether he dedicated his penalty save to someone, he said: “I dedicated it to my wife; that’s the only thing a goalie may do”.
On the side’s potential, he said: Leaving the final score aside, we showed that we can deliver good football, that we are good team. We also show that we are capable of a good away result”.
