PSG v Metz: Lucas Hernandez analyses Paris Saint-Germain’s win

As part of the 23rd matchday of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosted FC Metz at the Parc des Princes and won 3-0 (video highlights here). On the sidelines of the match, Lucas Hernandez, the Parisian club’s full-back, spoke to PSG TV following this victory.

Hernandez: “Even though we were winning 2-0, we wanted to keep scoring goals”

“It’s true that it was a very important match. We saw that Lens had lost their game, so we had the chance to reclaim the top spot in the league. We were aware of that and we stepped up! The third goal? Since the start of the season, one of our strengths has been our pressing. Even though we were winning 2-0, we wanted to keep scoring goals. We pressed high, I was lucky enough to recover the ball well for Gonçalo, who scored that third goal. It was a great match from everyone.”

After RC Lens’ defeat against AS Monaco, PSG knew that victory was crucial this Saturday in order to reclaim the top spot in the league. By approaching the match with seriousness, Luis Enrique’s men were able to quickly take the lead and leave no chance for their opponents that evening.
