PSG v Atalanta: Juric admits "they play at a different level" | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Atalanta faced off this Wednesday at Parc des Princes as part of the first matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. The match ended with a Parisian victory 4-0 (PSG/Atalanta video summary). After this match, the coach of the Italian team, Ivan Juric, spoke out at a press conference. He couldn't help but praise Paris, even though he would have liked his team to have performed better.

Juric "it was too difficult."

What are your feelings on the defeat?

They started very well, we should have done better, but we lost the ball in a very difficult position and we conceded a goal right away. Then, we played 20 good minutes, where we saw a nice Atalanta, we had a few opportunities to equalize, but we didn't succeed.

The 2nd goal, we conceded it too easily. It's a goal that I didn't like at all. And after that, frankly, it was too difficult. Because, beyond the goals, the penalty, it was a game action, it was very difficult.

Juric "We shouldn't criticize ourselves too much."

Disappointed by your team?

We need to be very clear-headed to analyze this match. Because, we need to see our mistakes, but also different things. We saw it with PSG against Inter Milan, they play at a different level. We shouldn't criticize ourselves too much, I saw things that give hope.
