Speaking to\u00a0RMC Sport following PSG’s shock elimination from the Champions’ League at the hands of Manchester United last night, German tactician Thomas Tuchel had the following to say.<\/p>\n
“We gave them two presents… at this level. After the second goal, we controlled the match, we played with a lot of quality. We react well to the first goal we gave them. We had a lot of chances but we did not score the second, or the third. Aside from that, with not even a chance, with not even anything they get a second goal. Then, in our heads, we felt that everyone was saying: “What is going on, they are losing and are doing nothing?!” But we controlled it afterwards…”<\/p>\n
“The second goal turned the match completely in our heads. In the second half, they didn’t have a single chance. I have the same feeling now as I did after our defeat to Guingamp in the Coupe de la Ligue, it was impossible to lose and we lost with 3 penalties. Today, I never had the impression that Manchester United wanted to win here. We lost but we controlled the whole game. They won, congratulations to them, but I have no explanation as to how they won.”<\/p>\n
“I am in favour of VAR, it is good, but I feel that the shot was not on target and if it was not on target, it makes no sense to give a penalty. The rules surrounding the hand are always difficult to explain… The rules are not clear. It was not a shot on target and that makes it a penalty… Ok…”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
