PSG's Galtier regrets missing early chance in Bayern defeat
2023-03-09 12:40Paris Saint-Germain blamed themselves for missing early chances after losing 2-0 to Bayern Munich on Wednesday and crashing out of the Champions League round of 16 .
Coach Christopher Galtier 's star-studded side, which includes striker Kylian Mbappe and world champion Lionel Messi , failed to score in two legs against Bayern in a 3-3 tie on aggregate With a -0 defeat, their hopes of winning Europe's top club trophy were dashed for another year.
" It's a big disappointment, " Galti said. " We have to deal with it and accept it. There's a lot of disappointment in the dressing room. "
" I don't know if it was a lesson to be learned, but there was a lot of frustration. It would have been different if we had scored first, but we didn't. "
PSG got off to a strong start, with France striker Kylian Mbappe getting his chances early and Lionel Messi narrowly scoring with his own double in the 25th minute.
" When we had chances, we didn't open the scoring. We played well in the first half , we felt we could match, but we didn't pass up chances, " Galtier said.
Instead, it was Bayern who opened the scoring with Eric Maxime Choupo Moting in the 61st minute before Serge Gnabry 's second sealed their victory .
" We conceded a very stupid first goal at this level. Yes, there was pressure from Bayern, but sometimes you can't be ashamed of playing long to overcome the pressure," Galtier said .
" It's difficult when you're behind after an hour of play. "
His side's recent defeat in Europe - their fifth round of 16 exit in seven years - has added to the pressure on Galtier, who has refused to speculate on his future at the club.
" It's a big disappointment but we have to accept it. It's too early to talk about my future. I'm focused on finishing the season with energy and determination. "
