PSG left no chance at Real Madrid on Wednesday in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup. Taking advantage of the feverishness of the Madrid defense, the Parisians only needed ten minutes to lead 2-0. The fate of the meeting was already sealed and the capital's club was able to quietly recite its score to finally win 4-0.
Luis Enrique obviously did not shift his pleasure at the end of the meeting. “We started the match by scoring two goals. We were lucky but I think we deserved this victory. Our players and supporters have to benefit because we have a big season, he said. Normally, we are a dominant team, who likes to have the ball. It's difficult for opponents to do the same thing. »»
Opposite, the Madrilenians were admiring, like Xabi Alonso, who could only see the damage and the extent of the site that awaits him for next season. “We faced an opponent in very good shape, who plays a very good level, he blown. We suffered like others. There is a lot of progress to do, there are a lot of things you want to improve. You have to do your self -criticism. This will enlighten us for the future and allow us to compete at a much better level than today. »»
Thibaut Courtois impressed by Le Pressing des Parisians
Even Thibaut Courtois, generally stingy with compliments, had only good to say of this PSG. “” Paris is the European champion, a team that was better and better over the weeks during the season. It is a team that presses very well, very high, with everyone ”, he said.
“They were very effective in the first period, they pressed high, and we had trouble pressing them. However, we tried to press them high, but we were still a little late, (Achraf) Hakimi was often alone, the environment must cover in this case and we were always a little late step,
he continued. This is where they hurt us and that's how the third goal comes. In the second period, they released a little, we had the ball a little more, but we didn't really have a big opportunity. »»
