‘Very unfair’ – Luis Enrique laments PSG’s loss to Liverpool in the Champions League R016 first leg | OneFootball

PSG head coach Luis Enrique was left to rue Les Parisiens‘ missed chances in their Champions League RO16 first leg home loss to Liverpool (1-0). The Ligue 1 leaders were by far the most proactive side at Parc des Princes and dominated proceedings. Liverpool had Alisson Becker to thank for as the Brazilian international was deservedly handed the Man of the Match award with a flurry of nine saves. “Their best player was the goalkeeper“, Luis Enrique lamented to Canal+.

The Spaniard added there was nothing else to explain regarding how the game unfolded. “We were far better than Liverpool. Far better! But they won that game. That’s very unfair“, said the PSG head coach. This is Les Parisiens’ first defeat since November 26 and their away 1-0 loss to FC Bayern Munich in the Champions League. “I don’t see any negative aspects. I’m very proud of my team, very proud of my players. There is a second leg to be played at Liverpool. We won’t give up.“

Liverpool-PSG will be played next Tuesday at Anfield, and the Reds lead 1-0 on aggregate.
