PSG v Bayern Munich: Chevalier stays positive despite frustration

As part of the 4th matchday of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Bayern Munich this Tuesday at the Parc des Princes (1-2 video highlights here). On the sidelines of the match, Lucas Chevalier, the 23-year-old goalkeeper of the Parisian club, spoke about this defeat on PSG TV.

Chevalier: "We played the most in-form team at the moment"

"We saw it from the very first minutes, it was a match with a lot of intensity and space, you could feel the danger everywhere. I think we paid dearly for our small lapses in focus and attention, that’s how we conceded the two goals. Then there was the red card, which made things easier for us and changed the match. Bayern dropped deeper and started to defend. In the end, we’re frustrated because we felt there was a way to score that second goal. Afterwards, when we analyze the match with a cooler head, we’ll realize that a lot was missing in the first half. But, well, we played the most in-form team at the moment and it’s better to drop points at this stage of the season, learn from it, and hopefully it will pay off later."

Chevalier: "We have to stay calm, trust ourselves, and it will be fine."

"That’s football, that’s how it is. Even if we had put in a great performance, we might still have lost the match. Sometimes you have to accept that’s how it goes, when you see João’s header that missed the post by nothing… Football comes down to very little, and I think we’ll all have a different analysis of the match. We have to stay confident, we came up against a very, very good team. We’ll work, and we also have to realize that at this point last season, the club was struggling and that didn’t stop them from going on to win the competition, so we have to stay calm, trust ourselves, and it will be fine."

At this stage of the season, there is obviously no need to worry about the future of the capital club. This dip in form was even predictable after what PSG achieved last season. With a record of sixteen wins in sixteen matches, Bayern Munich remains the most in-form team at the moment. Facing them during this autumn period is ultimately a good thing, as it proves that even weakened, the Parisian club could compete.

The most important thing today is to secure qualification for the next round. As for the rest, we just have to wait for the players who are currently physically injured and weakened to regain their strength. The moment of truth will come next spring, when Luis Enrique’s PSG was the best team in Europe last year.
