PSG came across stronger than them on Tuesday. Winner of its first three matches in the League phase, the capital club did not survive the shock on Tuesday against Bayern, also the author of a faultless record and even now winner of its 16 matches played since the start of the season. A historic performance.
Questioned at a press conference, Luis Enrique easily recognized the superiority of the Bavarians. “In the first half, eleven against eleven, they were superior, they had more chances”confided the Spanish coach. He nevertheless regretted the generosity of his defense.
“We gave some great gifts, and when you give gifts to this type of player, it’s normal to lose the first half”he added. It’s hard not to see a reference to Marquinhos’ huge ball on the second Bavarian goal.
Marquinhos pleads guilty
On a harmless ball, the Brazilian defender lacked application, being surprised by Luis Diaz who took no time to shoot Lucas Chevalier and thus score his second goal of the evening.
But more than this error, it was the Brazilian’s overall performance that worried. If he has on his side the lack of rhythm, with only 113 minutes played since his thigh injury which cost him three weeks of absence, the Parisian captain was put to torture by the Bavarian attackers, struggling to find his place in the face of Harry Kane’s dropouts or the activity of Serge Gnabry.
“We faced a team that was well established and very physically fit. They were better than us in the first half, they were better in physical impact and high recovery. We couldn’t put the game together. Many players (from PSG) are not in good shape, 100%. I’m part of it”, he admitted at the end of the meeting, adding: “There are things to remember from this match. The team always has the ambition to want to beat its opponents. But they were superior, even if the red gave another context in the second half, where we were superior.
