PSG v Bayern – this legend revels after the first-leg semi-final!

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich (5-4) left its mark on the football world. This Thursday, it was Cesc Fábregas—former iconic midfielder for Arsenal and FC Barcelona, now coach of Como—who spoke to the press about this breathtaking match.

Fabregas: “I learned a lot from this match”

“If you coach one of these teams, it can hurt, but as a spectator, I never imagined I would see a match like that. I think I saw the best match of my life as a fan,” the Como coach told reporters. “I enjoyed it a lot, it shows where modern football is heading, with a lot of pressing and one-on-one duels. I learned a lot from this match. It was a pleasure for everyone.”

For any football fan, this match was extraordinary. Of course, a PSG supporter may focus on the fact that the lead was only one goal after being 5-2 ahead. On the other hand, a Bayern Munich supporter may focus on the defeat. But with this 5-4 scoreline, even in those circumstances, supporters from both sides know perfectly well that the second leg will be wide open, with what will probably be a completely crazy scenario.

At times like this, you have to appreciate football. Certainly, there is a huge stake for both teams, but at the end of the match, the loser will only be able to enjoy the battle and acknowledge the level of their opponent. It is a final before the final, which will take place on Wednesday, May 7 at 9 p.m., with, hopefully, as great a spectacle as this Tuesday.
