"I do not agree. We pressed in a sensational way, in an incredible way. What we can criticise is the number of simple mistakes we have made, too much for this type of game. I am not happy with the result, but with the ambition, confidence and DNA of the team, yes. And it is normal to lose games in the competition. We don't look for excuses."
"We are not used to losing matches. We played a good game; it was close in the first minutes, but we deserved more. We had three clear opportunities, and it's a shame that it finished like that because it's a match that is always important for us. A defeat in Le Classique is always difficult, but you have to prepare for the next match in the best possible way."
Paris Saint-Germain suffered a 1-0 defeat to Marseille after Nayef Aguerd scored early following a Lucas Chevalier error. The match had been moved from Sunday to Monday, preventing PSG attendance at the Ballon d'Or ceremony, while some injured nominees attended. PSG created second-half pressure but failed to score, finishing with 12 attempts and 0.7 expected goals. The defeat ended a long unbeaten run in away matches versus Marseille and stopped PSG's 100% start to the season. The coach expressed frustration, rejected excuses about distractions, and cited too many simple mistakes as the main issue.
