Having arrived in the French capital this summer, Willian Pacho (22 years old) played his first Champions League match on Wednesday evening against Girona. Passing through the mixed zone after his team’s victory (1-0), the Ecuadorian defender of PSG did not hide his joy despite the difficulties encountered by Luis Enrique’s men. “We knew that Girona can do great things with the ball. We adjusted some things and we finished well. We wanted to be vigilant, and we were able to make the difference at the end. We knew that we had to insist, stay patient. Football is like that. In the end, we managed to score.”.
Relaunched on his debut in the City of Lights, the former Eintracht Frankfurt player was not hiding his pleasure either. “I am very happy. Today (Wednesday) is a very important day for me, because when I was little, I dreamed of playing in the Champions League. I am fulfilling a dream. Regarding my place in the team, I do what is asked of me. I give everything to the team.”. An integration that was, to say the least, successful.
