Rennes/PSG – Samba praises Torres, but has regrets… | OneFootball

Stade Rennais hosted Paris Saint-Germain this Sunday evening for the opening matchday of Ligue 1. And while the start of the season worked in Rennes’ favor for nearly 70 minutes, it was new Paris signing Ferran Torres who allowed the Rouge et Bleu to pull level with a crucial brace (2-2, watch the video highlights). Brice Samba, the 32-year-old goalkeeper for the Breton club, looked back on the match for Ligue1+.

Samba: “We have a new world champion in our league

How did you feel, and was Ferran Torres’ introduction decisive?

He deserves all the credit. We have a new world champion in our league, and we saw all his quality. Those two goals were largely avoidable. I think that with a little more concentration, we very likely could have avoided them. But overall, it was a strong performance against the two-time European champions. We’re off the mark with our first point.

Samba: “We’re disappointed, of course

Was it an encouraging way for you to start the season?

Of course, of course. Given how the match unfolded, we maybe thought we were going to win. But we’re not going to turn our noses up at it, it’s a point. We’re disappointed, of course, but that’s how it is and we move forward.
