Luis Enrique, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, stated that his team performed better despite losing to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday in Paris. With a 1-0 victory in the first leg at Parc des Princes, the Premier League leaders hold a strong position in the last-16 tie. Although PSG’s powerful attack dominated the game, they were heavily reliant on their goalkeeper Alisson Becker to fend off threats. However, PSG’s inability to capitalize in front of goal led to their downfall, as Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott scored the decisive goal just three minutes before the end. Enrique called the defeat ‘strange’ and mentioned that he would encourage his players to focus on the positives as they prepare for the second leg next Tuesday. “It’s very unfair,” he expressed. “It was a thoroughly comprehensive performance from us, possibly our best in the Champions League,” he stated during the post-match press conference. During the first half, the anticipated goals heavily favored us. They took a shot and successfully scored. Alisson, the goalkeeper, was their standout player. It might seem odd, but I take great pride in my team, including the players and the supporters. “The atmosphere was fantastic, yet we know that football can be unfair at times.” You need to achieve a score. We’ll remain optimistic and look forward to the upcoming match in Liverpool. “There’s no need for further explanation; we performed significantly better than Liverpool.”
