Lucas Hernandez refused to fall into catastrophism after the draw conceded by PSG against Newcastle (1-1) on Tuesday evening.
PSG missed a first opportunity to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League. While a victory against Newcastle on Tuesday would have been synonymous with qualification, the Parisians had to settle for a draw (1-1) and will have to win on the pitch of Borussia Dortmund in two weeks to avoid be dependent on the result between Newcastle and AC Milan.
The French champions can therefore harbor regrets, all the more so given the numerous opportunities they created in front of the Magpies’ goal. However, Lucas Hernandez wanted to be calm and only regretted the bad luck suffered by the Rouge et Bleu.
“On the pitch, I was confident, I knew the ball would eventually go in. Even after Kylian’s goal which did us good, we continued to get this victory. There are evenings like that where the ball doesn’t want to go in. If we take stock and see all the actions…, he commented on RMC Sport 1. The goalkeeper made some saves that he never made before. But there is no excuse. It’s up to us to continue to play our game. If we win in Dortmund we will be first in the group. We have to continue to play the way we are doing, hoping that the ball can go in there. »
