What was Luis Enrique’s speech at the break? Gianluigi Donnarumma: He talked about possession of the ball, taking more risks, coming out from the back better with me and the defenders. We did it very well in the second half, we scored two goals. But it is not finished ! There, it will be difficult (March 5 in Anoeta for the return, Editor’s note). It will be a different match. We will go there to win.
Marquinhos explained on television that the coach “pulled your ears” at half-time…(smile) It’s normal. He is an extraordinary coach. He wants us to give our all. But it’s normal, he got a little angry, but he gives everything for the team and we give everything for him. We are a very united team and we will continue to work very well together. It showed in the second half.
Were you stung by his speech and anger? The team took it very well. Once again, it’s normal, and we ourselves saw that we were in very difficulty in the first half. The second, we wanted to get the ball out and we did it, we scored two fantastic goals (Mbappé in the 58th and Barcola in the 70th, Editor’s note).
In what area did PSG sin in the first period, tactically, mentally? Psychologically a little, tactically a little too… But we have fantastic players and we tried to take more risks in the second half. We did it better after the break.
Did Kylian Mbappé’s goal free you? (he blows and smiles) Yes! It’s an extraordinary goal, Barcola too, but once again, it’s not over. We have to concentrate completely on the championship before the return match.
