Sporting star reacts to win over PSG: It was madness | OneFootball

After Sporting's 2-1 victory over PSG in the seventh and penultimate round of the regular phase of the Champions League, Francisco Trincão analyzed the positive result. In statements following the triumph, the number 17 of the green and whites was asked how the team faced the European champion during the match.

"We knew how to suffer a bit. The first half was very difficult because they defend very well when they lose the ball. But in the second half, we played better with one-touch, looked for more space, and scored the goals. With the help of the fans, the atmosphere was madness... with all that together, we knew how to suffer a bit and won the game", he emphasized in statements to TNT Sports of Spain.

The 26-year-old Portuguese international, teammate of Nuno Mendes in the national team, also stressed that it is important to approach the rest of the European campaign with humility. "It's very difficult (to say) because all games are complicated, the next one will be too. So, I think it's more about enjoying this game and then seeing what comes next without thinking too far ahead. Because all games are difficult."

It is worth noting that Trincão may not renew with Sporting before the summer, when the transfer market reopens. At that time, there might be openness from both sides for a deal, since he is one of the most attractive and important players in the green and white squad.

This season, wearing Sporting's jersey, Francisco Trincão - valued at 35 million euros - has played 29 matches. The Portuguese international forward has started in almost all official games. So far, he has recorded nine goals and nine assists personally.
