PSG/Paris FC: Zabarnyi focused on what's next after being knocked out

This Monday, Paris Saint-Germain faced Paris FC in the Round of 32 of the Coupe de France (0-1 video summary here). Speaking to PSG TV, 23-year-old Parisian defender Illya Zabarnyi reflected on this result.

Zabarnyi: "We will have to accept it, analyze it, and move on"

"Of course, Paris Saint-Germain always fights to win titles, so being eliminated tonight is bad news for us. But that's football. We will have to accept it, analyze it, and move on. We need to recover and be ready to give everything we have on Friday. It's positive to have many matches in a row because we can focus on the next one coming up."

A sad result for this Parisian team that seemed to have control of their match. With 21 shots and 8 on target, Luis Enrique's men had everything in hand to win this match and advance to the Round of 16. Unfortunately, it took just one small opportunity for the PFC players to score the goal that allows them to dream and continue their journey in the Coupe de France.

Winners of the national treble last season, the capital club unfortunately knows that it will not be able to repeat this feat in 2026. Now they will have to focus on what's next, but after such a controlled match, regrets will be present for PSG.

Winners of the Trophée des Champions by a hair against Olympique de Marseille, this time the feat will not happen, and it's also a good wake-up call for the reigning European champions.
