Paris Saint-Germain faced Chelsea this Sunday in the Club World Cup (3-0 highlights Chelsea/PSG). In the mixed zone, Parisian president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi spoke about the defeat and the season.
“Clearly, this defeat in no way detracts from PSG’s XXL season. After seven months in the competition, battling for their first star at home and in Europe, it was clear that Luis Enrique’s men were going to be physically exhausted at this Club World Cup.
Of course, defeat in the final hurts, but to lose a final you’d have to have already played it. We mustn’t forget that PSG eliminated Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in particular before facing an in-form Chelsea side. Now it’s time to focus on recovery and the European Supercup against Tottenham on August 13.”
