Koeman: “I think Messi sees that the team is going to do more”

Koeman spoke right after the game ended.

With what feeling do you leave the Park of the Princes?

We are eliminated and what counts in this sport is that, but with a good feeling. We were able to get PSG into complications. We did a great first half and were superior. The attitude was great and we deserved something more. With 1-2 at halftime everything would have been different.

Have you remembered the second part of the Camp Nou?

It was an exaggerated result. Comparing today's with the first game, we have created more than them. But they scored four and we scored one.

Can you criticize the lack of success?

We did a lot of wear and tear and we haven't had much luck either. We have had the opportunities but we have not taken advantage of them.

And why this today and not in the first leg?

We went for everything. When you play two games, you can switch. The attitude in the first game was good too, but today we also went for everything.

Is the penalty the key?

It is an important moment, especially for them if we had gone 1-2. But we must highlight the attitude of the team.

Do you feel that the team is leaving Europe in a different way?

We reacted today and we played at the level we have. This is the way. We are sad to be eliminated.

Can this image help Messi to stay?

I think Messi sees that the team is going to more. And with the changes we have made, with quality and future young people, I believe that his decision will not have to do with the quality of the team because he sees the changes.

Laporta: “We deserved to pass”

The president spoke with Sport after the elimination: “We have a team, it has been a source of pride, we have defended our dignity, we have deserved to win and we have deserved to pass.”
