Paris Saint-Germain lost to Liverpool (0-1) Wednesday during the first leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League. However, despite this setback, the Parisians, who dominated the majority of the meeting, posted great confidence for the return to Anfield.
At the microphone of Canal + after the defeat, Vitinha, the Parisian midfielder, did not hide his disappointment, but expressed his conviction that his team was going to deliver an exceptional performance in Liverpool, keeping this same mentality and this quality of play. “It's hard, everyone saw. Their only opportunity, they mark. But it is now that we are going to show the team that we are. We're going to go there, we're going to score and we're going to go, I'm sure. We will show personality and we will win ”, He announced, like his coach Luis Enrique, who also highlighted the superiority of PSG against the English.
“What they said is like waving a red cloth in front of a bull”
These statements were quick to arouse the reaction of John Aldridge, a former Liverpool striker, who deemed them arrogant. “When I heard the comments of the players and the PSG coach after the first leg, I was struck by their arrogance. We are talking about a club that has never won a big trophy, so getting out what they said after the match … They should have won, of course, but they did not do it. We punch them. They lacked respect for us and Anfield ”, reacted the former Irish international.
Aldridge expects the men of Arne Slot to win during this second round, but this time with the way.
“I hope that the supporters will respond on Tuesday evening and that players will win their duels”he added. “We will play better, we will make better passes. And if we win our duels, we will win the match because we are a better team than them. What they said was to wave a red cloth in front of a bull. »»
