The PSG sporting director Leonardoassured that the elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Real Madrid “is a hard blow” and said that hubo falta to Gianluigi Donnarumma in the first goal for the white team, but he specified that “it is not an excuse”.
“Is a big refereeing error, but we have not known how to control it, remain calm, we have sunk and we have not known how to find solutions. It is a pity that an arbitration decision is so decisive. We have to stay calm, it’s hard to draw conclusions,” he told RMC Sports television.
“We have things to improve, it’s obvious, but we can’t change everything. If we think about it, at the break we had an organized team that controlled the situation in the Parc des Princes and here in the first half as well. Then it’s hard to digest the second one,” he added.
“It’s an important defeat, but until the break we controlled, we scored, we knew how to get 2-0. I think the arbitration decision has been very decisive, but it is not an excusethere are our mistakes that have been important,” he stressed.
About him future of the coach, Mauricio Pochettinohe said: “He is in our project, he has been achieving goals. This is not the day to think about this. It is a very hard blow, but we will get ahead.”
