PSG coach: Winning in this manner over Juventus will also allow us to develop

Added at:

Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier spoke following the victory over Juventus on Tuesday evening (2-1).

"There were two different halves. There was the first where I felt that we started the match well, and where the team really enjoyed playing together and creating lots of chances, bringing danger and defending together too. We gave away some chances in the first half, but I thought that a two-goal lead at half-time was deserved.

Then there was the second half where we were caught out by a set-piece, when we needed to get out more quickly than we had planned unfortunately. As soon as there is a bit of movement in this area, we are punished. Of course, if the third goal had been for us, the match would have been done and dusted. But it gave Juventus hope again.

We gave chances away, our defenders were heroic in the final metres of the pitch to prevent us from conceding a second goal. I think that on the whole, the win was deserved. It’s important for our supporters, for the club, for the player and for me on a personal level. But winning in this manner will also allow the squad to develop because you realise that you need to put in incredible effort at this level of the competition".
