Paris Saint-Germain were fighting for their future in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. And although their opponents were not expected to be in the best of form, video summary PSG/Manchester City). Bernardo Silva, City’s emblematic midfielder, spoke to Canal+ to give his impressions of the match, and it was with exceptional class that he confirmed Paris’ superiority this evening.
Silva: “They won every battle on the pitch”.
You didn’t arrive, so what was it about the match that PSG turned over?
In the first half I think it was 50/50. We didn’t play very well, but we had opportunities to create chances. We got off to a good start in the second half and then Paris were much, much better than us for 35 minutes. Let’s put it simply.
Did they win the midfield battle?
They won every battle on the pitch. They were more intense, more competitive and they deserved to win the game.
Are you worried about being 25th?
We didn’t expect to be here. We didn’t think we’d need to win the last game to be in the play-offs. We’re a bit frustrated of course, but now we’re playing at home against Brugge and we have to accept the situation. If we win, we qualify. It’s not the best situation, but we’re going to play at home with the fans. We’re going to give everything we’ve got to win this game.
