Marseille/PSG, Genesio doesn't hold back after defeat | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille faced off thisSunday at the Stade Vélodrome on Matchday 5 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season.A match that ended in a 1-2 (OM/PSG video highlights) win for Paris. After the match, Marseille coach Bruno Genesio spoke to Ligue1+.

Genesio: “We’re not learning from our mistakes quickly enough.”

You went toe-to-toe with the two-time European champion, but once again it’s zero points tonight?

Yes, we had the same issues as last week. We conceded from a set piece where we were inattentive. I think we had a good first half, but we weren’t able to reproduce the same kind of second half because we were under much more pressure after the break.

We still managed to get back level, which was not easy to do, but we lost focus a little and we’re still a bit too emotional, and it’s frustrating to concede a goal like that. If we concede against a PSG side capable of creating things with three-man play or from an imbalance, fine, but to concede from a second ball and be that inattentive leaves a lot of frustration and regret. We’re not learning from our mistakes quickly enough.

Genesio: “We can’t then concede a goal in that way.”

Do you see improvement?

In terms of spirit and commitment, I don’t have much to say about the start of the season. In every match, I’ve had nothing to reproach my players for in that area. We have to do better, concede fewer goals, and be more attentive. After equalizing, we can’t then concede a goal in that way if we want to take points at the highest level.

Genesio: “Over the 90 minutes, we deserved that point.”

What do you tell yourselves? There are three weeks to work well, but I get the feeling that little extra thing is still missing?

We wanted a lot of activity to defend well against that setup with two up front. That’s why we chose Neal Maupay. If we managed to defend well, we thought we could play our way out and use his movement up front.

He worked a lot for the team, he made himself available. What’s tiring is that we’re almost satisfied with a defeat. But in football, you have to win and pick up points. Still, over the 90 minutes, we deserved that point.
