PSG/Paris FC – Lopez left stunned by PSG

Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC faced off this Sunday at Parc des Princes for the 17th day of Ligue 1 2035-2026. The match ended with a Parisian victory 2-1 (PSG/Paris FC video summary). After this match, the 28-year-old PFC midfielder Maxime Lopez spoke in the mixed zone.

Lopez “apart from doing that, what else is there to do?”

“Two or even three classes apart. We came with our weapons… There’s nothing to say, let’s be honest, we were missing three very important players, we can’t afford to have such absences. Obviously, people will say ‘they parked the bus’ but when you see the level of PSG, apart from doing that, what else is there to do? We saw that by doing this, we managed to equalize.

Lopez “It’s wow, it’s something.”

The second goal we conceded came too early but I’m proud of the team, we showed a good face. They are very strong on the other side. I’ve never found PSG so strong in control. It’s wow, it’s something.”, remarks relayed by Foot Mercato.

Lopez doesn’t beat around the bush, he was impressed by PSG and finds it hard to see how his team could compete more. Even if there were better things to do at times, which would be easier with fewer absentees, coach Luis Enrique’s team was mostly too strong.

Yet, they didn’t seem at their best. We mostly have the feeling that PSG was in physical preparation for the future, with a bit of management. But it is still a very high-level team, armed with exceptional individuals. There was ball control and a consistently calm defense.

This can be discouraging for Paris FC and other opponents. However, there are weapons to use and they will have to try to do better next Monday in the 16th round of the Coupe de France. Perhaps again with a low block, which almost paid off, as Lopez points out. Be careful, PSG also had several poorly finished chances when there was an interesting situation. And there is a defeat at the end, which is not really encouraging either.
