Monaco/PSG: "It's not so bad", Teze stays upbeat after the defeat | OneFootball

This Tuesday, as part of the first leg playoffs for the 2025-2026 Champions League (second leg on February 25), Paris Saint-Germain faced AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II. Jordan Teze, the 26-year-old defender for the Monaco team, stopped at the CBS Sports microphone after Paris’s 2-3 victory (video highlights Monaco/PSG). 

Teze: “It’s possible in the return leg.”

The match slipped away from you even though it was in your hands?

Yes, that’s true. We started very, very well. If you can lead 2-0 against Paris in 20 minutes, that’s ideal. But we can’t concede 2 goals like that, we can do better. But losing 2-3 while playing 10 against 11, it’s not so bad. Even if it’s not what we wanted. We managed to score 2 goals at the start, so it’s possible in the return leg.

Teze: “Otherwise, there would be no point in going.”

How did the match change? Did Doué change everything?

His first shot went in, of course they have great players on the bench. Dembélé is injured, Doué comes in. It’s crazy. He came in very well, he scored two goals. It’s up to us to do it again.

Hope for the return leg?

Of course, otherwise there would be no point in going.
