Kylian Mbappe insists PSG did the basics right against Juventus after they beat the Italians 2-1.
The Frenchman was the star of the show as his two first-half strikes helped his team to earn the points.
We still expect Juve to qualify from the group, perhaps alongside the Parisians, but they could have gotten a better result from the fixture.
Max Allegri’s men started the game poorly and PSG took full advantage of that to go 2-0 up before the break.
After it, the Italians improved and scored what eventually became a consolation goal.
Mbappe admits, as reported by TuttoMercatoWeb that they struggled in that half, but he insists they got the job done.
“We are happy, I think we could have taken cover and pushed a little more in the second half, and also in the first half I think we would have I could have pushed a little harder, but here we are, we did the essentials, we played a good match and we started with the victory in a superb atmosphere at home.”
Juve FC Says
Mbappe knows we could easily have gotten a draw from that match with our second-half performance.
He sounds relieved to have won, but we will make things difficult for them when they visit the Allianz Stadium for the reverse of this fixture.
The players with a better coach could have won us that game.
