“A defeat is always upsetting. Obviously, I can’t be happy with the way the match went but, in the context, with the number of players we had out, we knew we were going to have difficult moments in defence,” said PSG coach Christophe Galtier.
“The objective is to win the league. Will this defeat mean the board will consider my future? Maybe. But everything needs to be put into context,” Galtier added when asked about his position.
“There are no excuses but there are reasons for it.”
The likes of Achraf Hakimi, Presnel Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos and Nordi Mukiele were all ruled out of the encounter due to injuries.
