PSG vs Newcastle: Lucas Hernandez Doesn’t Understand – « The Ball Just Didn’t Want to Go In »

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) could only manage a draw against Newcastle at Parc des Princes in the 5th matchday of the Champions League group stage.

Despite a promising start, PSG conceded the opening goal, putting their qualification in jeopardy. It was only in stoppage time, thanks to a converted penalty, that PSG managed to secure a crucial draw (1-1).

Lucas Hernandez reflects on this frustrating and quite crazy match in terms of opportunities. For the PSG defender, the ball simply didn’t favor PSG.

« It was a football match, we had a lot of chances. There are evenings like this, it’s part of football and the spectacle. The ball just didn’t want to go in, and we did everything to create every possible opportunity. »

« I don’t know how many chances we created, but well, we managed to secure this draw. We wanted to go for the win, but we know that with this result, if we win against Dortmund, we qualify and top the group. That’s the most important thing. »
