PSG/Chelsea – Fofana gutted by "too many mistakes", but not beaten down | OneFootball

This Wednesday, as part of the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League Round of 16 (return leg on March 17), Paris Saint-Germain faced Chelsea at the Parc des Princes. Wesley Fofana, the 25-year-old defender of the English team, stopped by the Canal+ microphone after the Parisian victory 5-2 (PSG/Chelsea video summary).

Fofana "these are gross mistakes"

A bit shaken up why it went so wrong?

At this level, we can't afford to make these kinds of mistakes, they are gross mistakes. The last goal was at the end of the match, there was a small crowd movement, we were no longer in the game, we pressed and conceded the 5th.

It hurts even more and we made too many mistakes today. They punished us, they are a great team. They showed it tonight, every time we made a mistake they punished us and we are very disappointed tonight.

Fofana "there is hope"

There are a lot of risks in your ball exits, is that what is asked of you?

Yes, we don't hide, we take a lot of risks. It's certain that sometimes, like tonight, we pay for it. But we train every day to make as few mistakes as possible. It's a game and we all agree to take these risks. Tonight, they punished us, they pressed us well, but we will try to correct that and learn from our mistakes.

Is it not over yet?

No, as long as there is a return match, there is hope. We have three goals to score to go into extra time and we will give everything. We have nothing to lose, we have three goals to score and we will do everything to qualify.
