PSG v Chelsea – James’ icy reaction: defeat, Neto and his comeback | OneFootball

This Wednesday, as part of the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League round of 16 (return on March 17), Paris Saint-Germain faced Chelsea at the Parc des Princes. Reece James, the 26-year-old midfielder/right-back of the English team, stopped by the TNT Sports microphone after the Parisian victory 5-2 (PSG/Chelsea video summary).

James "The match slipped away from us."

What happened at the end when it was tied?

It's hard to say. It was pretty balanced until the last 15 minutes. The match slipped away from us. We didn't finish as we wanted.

Jorgensen in trouble?

That's football. It's the way we want to play. Mistakes can happen, we know that. Everyone is with him.

James "There are emotions but that's not an excuse."

A discipline issue for Pedro Neto?

It was a strange moment, I didn't really see it. I apologize on behalf of Neto and the club. It's a difficult moment, there are emotions but that's not an excuse.

James "Many teams have already turned situations around."

Enough good things tonight to believe in the return?

It's the Champions League, the biggest club competition. Many teams have already turned situations around. We have to put this match behind us and look forward.
