Bayer Leverkusen/PSG – Hjulmand gutted: "We owe everyone an apology"

Paris Saint-Germain and Bayer Leverkusen faced each other this Tuesday at the BayArena as part of the 3rd matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. The match ended with a Parisian victory 2-7 (video summary Bayer Leverkusen/PSG). After this match, the coach of the German team, Kasper Hjulmand, spoke at a press conference with visible pain.

Hjulmand: "We feel great pain. We are hurt."

"We must apologize to the supporters. They were incredible today, and we need them again on Sunday against Freiburg to move forward. We feel great pain. We are hurt. But we have to recover and look to the future. We were too open and thinking too much about the future, without balance. I would have liked to go into the locker room with the score at 1-1 and then make changes. But seven minutes before halftime, with a new structure, we lost the match. At 1-4, it was over."

The assessment is terrible, Leverkusen "exploded" at home when equalizing against PSG by getting the red card to be 10 against 10 should have been an opportunity. But these somewhat "crazy" moments, which go beyond the usual framework, are also sometimes difficult to manage. The organization changes, there are many emotions.

In this game, PSG was stronger, with its collective certainties and individual talents. Paris played at full speed, not giving Hjulmand the chance to reorganize his team at halftime to hope for a big comeback. The Parisians took full advantage of the situation and even added a goal after the break. Enough to shatter any hope of a miraculous comeback. This then allows them to "manage."

Leverkusen will have to recover after such a blow. At least, the German team can tell itself that it is far from being the first (and probably not the last) to suffer a "blow" against this PSG.
