Paris Saint-Germain beat RB Salzburg 0-3 (highlights Salzburg/PSG) this Tuesday at the Red Bull Arena as part of matchday 6 of the Champions League 2024-2025 league phase. After the match, Paris striker Bradley Barcola spoke in the mixed zone. The 23-year-old French international was delighted with his side’s success, which could help them get off to a winning start.
Barcola “when we played with no questions asked and went all out, it allows for games like that.”
“Victory is important. We knew that if we wanted to continue in the competition, we had to win. We got off to a good start and we’re happy. I think it’s going to be a turning point.
We’ve been struggling lately, and to score three goals away from home is really good. I hope it continues. We were asking ourselves a lot of questions. Today, we saw that when you play without questioning yourself and when you give it your all, you can win games like that.“
Barcola can’t hide it, and had even mentioned it a little to the press before the match: the inefficiency of the last few games was a subject between the players. It’s a good thing, because it allows us to share and find solutions together.
Scoring is bound to help calm things down and give us more peace of mind when it comes to finishing. It could be that PSG have started a virtuous circle. But that doesn’t mean that all the chances will come easily.
It’s normal that there aren’t goals every time, and we shouldn’t overdramatize a miss. But it’s also clear that the Parisians were too wasteful. It’s up to them to take advantage of the confidence they’ve built up here and put it into practice. This should enable them to improve on the quality of their play, in order to achieve great results.
