Paris Saint-Germain traveled to the Montjuïc Stadium this Wednesday evening to face FC Barcelona in the second matchday of the Champions League group stage. Despite an unusual start for the Parisians, who conceded the opening goal early, it was ultimately the visitors who emerged victorious, winning 2-1 against Barça. Jules Koundé, the Blaugrana defender, spoke to Canal+ Sport after the match:
Koundé: “They were better than us tonight”
What was the key to their victory in the second half?
I think it was ball control; they were also physically superior. We couldn’t apply the pressure we wanted to. I think we lacked a bit of everything tonight. We have to acknowledge that they played very well. I’m disappointed.
What are your thoughts on PSG’s performance?
I’m not surprised; we know the quality of this team. They are a team full of confidence and with high-quality players. Today they showed that they are European champions. Yes, it was a difficult match for us, but they were simply better than us tonight.
