A match to forget? Not necessarily… The players had a tough time of it, but at least it kept everyone under pressure over the vacations. We’ll have to keep working hard if we are to repeat next season the promise we saw this year. We saw a tired PSG, largely beaten in terms of match effectiveness. In addition to the goals, there were errors on the part of every player, as well as a less polished game than usual. None of the players really stood out from the crowd, and the marks were clearly deserved. PSG lost too many duels and paid dearly for it.
