PSG v Bayern Munich – Barcola speaks out on defeat and his dip in form | OneFootball

Bradley Barcola, a 23-year-old forward for Paris Saint-Germain, stopped by the microphone in the mixed zone after the 1-2 defeat against Bayern Munich (PSG/Bayern Munich video summary) this Tuesday at Parc des Princes as part of the 4th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. 

Barcola "we lacked concentration."

PSG deserved to lose, what was missing?

I think we lacked concentration on certain plays and that cost us goals. I think not everything should be discarded, we did wake up a bit. But I think the start of the match cost us very, very dearly. We weren't fully engaged from the beginning, the first half was very average and that's what made us lose the match.

How do you explain not being able to equalize at 11 against 10?

I don't know, we tried a lot but we didn't have the luck to score. We tried everything, it's a shame. We'll try to take something positive from this match.

How do you come out of this evening with the defeat and injuries?

We'll try to lift our heads as quickly as possible. We have a big match this weekend against Lyon. We need to try to make up for it.

Barcola "The succession of matches is tough and I'm starting to feel it."

You lacked technical precision tonight, can this amplify your drive for the future?

I always want to do better.

A difficult period individually? Fatigue?

The succession of matches is tough and I'm starting to feel it. It's starting to take a toll.

What is it like to face a team that puts you in such difficulty?

We knew it was going to be complicated, even if we didn't expect this, honestly. We'll try to take the positives.

Is it a wake-up call?

Yes, it was complicated. It was a very good team. We'll try to make up for it.
