Christopher Galtier wanted to gain steel from the defeat made at the hands of Bayern, an unsatisfactory result for PSG and it forces to overcome the round of 16 tie in Munich.
“Obviously there is disappointment. But we all knew that no one would qualify or be eliminated tonight,” said the PSG coach when trying to explain the defeat.
The Paris team was far from its best version and recognized it Galtier. “When we didn’t have depth, Bayern put us under pressure. I suspected that if we played like that, without depth, without verticality, we would have a very difficult first half. Unfortunately, when I wanted to put mbappethey scored”, lamented the French coach.
“We had a difficult time playing, against a team that deprived us of the ball, that came to put pressure on us. We expected it, because our eleven is not that deep. We want more strength on our wings, but Hakimi got a touch” He said of the winger change.
The coach prefers to be inspired by the last stage of the game, with the entry of Mbappé.
“We had more speed, more depth and more connections. The players have found themselves more comfortable. Kylian’s contribution is vital and others have also encouraged. We had chances and they almost disallowed a goal”, he commented.
“The last half hour gives us hope, the second leg is in three weeks, I hope that we will recover freshness and players. It is a double confrontation, tonight no one was eliminated or classified. I am very hopeful, we have spoken in the locker room and I hope that we find freshness, that we can rotate without penalizing the team. That we can play like the last 20-30 minutes and we can win in Munich to, at least, force penalties”, he assured.
