This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Tottenham at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 5 of the Champions League group stage and won 5–3. After the match, PSG defender Willian Pacho, 24, stopped at the PSG TV microphone.
Pacho: “I hope to score many more.”
“I’m very happy. It was a crazy match, but scoring goals makes it even more special. I think it’s important for us to have won this game, it’s very, very good. It’s positive for maintaining confidence, continuing to improve, continuing to learn.
And it’s also important to see how each of us supports one another in difficult moments, because it was a complicated match. I’m very happy to have scored, and I hope to score many more.”
Pacho: “I think we always believed.”
“It was an important match and the club, the team reacted very well. I think we were prepared. Even though they scored three goals and were very good today, I think we always believed and kept playing the way we always do — the style we’re known for, with a lot of intensity. Viti? His three goals were incredible!”
A great win for PSG and for Pacho, who was also able to join the party by scoring his goal. Overall, Paris delivered a very strong performance against a Tottenham side that capitalized on every opportunity to be dangerous. Despite the ups and downs of the match, PSG managed the momentum well and ultimately won 5–3 — a real show of character, already seen last season, and something that makes the difference. As does the confidence they show in their game regardless of the situation.
Naturally, it’s an important result that puts the club in an excellent position for qualification. They will now need to confirm this good momentum and secure their place in the round of 16 by finishing in the top eight, which should not be difficult for this Parisian team.
