On Wednesday, Manchester United made history beating PSG 3-1 at Parc des Princes and becoming the first ever team to proceed to another round of the Champions League after losing 2-0 a first leg game at home. The Red Devils did it with 10 first-team players on the sidelines.
Thus, Les Parisiens’ manager Thomas Tuchel has shared his thoughts on such an outcome, quoted by The Star Online:
“We showed a very good reaction after the first goal to United. We reacted well and played very well in the first 30 minutes with a lot of chances. We had opportunities for a second or third goal but we did not convert them.
“After that, the second goal changed the whole situation because Man United had no chance to score, but they netted twice. And with another United goal, we were out.
The PSG vs Manchester United match yesternight is another prove that sometimes Football is not about money spent. It takes passion, zeal and hunger for success to achieve great feat with limited resources.— Wale Adetona (@iSlimfit) March 7, 2019
“They had three goals without attacking, without creating a chance. It’s hard, maybe impossible to analyse this.
“The problem is the way we started today, but we showed excellent reaction, we were not concerned, we dominated the opponents, we had a lot of chances. At 1-1 we felt confident in the way we played. It is very hard to lose, very hard to accept.
“If you lose a game like this, it’s horrible and cruel because we did not deserve to go out after those 180 minutes.”
