PSG v Marseille – Balerdi: We did our bit but slipped up

This Thursday evening at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait, Paris Saint-Germain faced Olympique de Marseille for the Trophée des Champions. And even though OM played quality football this year, it was still the Parisians who won on penalties (4-1 on penalties see the PSG/OM video highlights) after equalizing in the final seconds of stoppage time. Leonardo Balerdi, defender and captain of the Phocaean club, stopped by the Ligue1+ microphones to share his disappointment.

I imagine it’s not easy to find the words at a moment like this, is it?

Yes, we’re disappointed, we came here to win the trophy. We did what we had to do, but we slipped up in the last minutes and made a lot of mistakes. And unfortunately, we didn’t do well in the penalty shootout.
