“Lawrence, the chances of your team eliminated Barca are very low …” “Yes, that’s for sure.” At the microphone, Laurent Blanc shakes his head ruefully. Moments earlier, PSG has been dominated on his lawn by Barcelona in the quarter-final leg of the Champions League (1-3). A gap almost impossible to climb in Catalonia Tuesday although the Parisian technician to wait for a reaction from his men.



How much absences of Ibrahimovic, Motta and Verratti weighed in this defeat?

I do not mean the absent. Analyze that and look at what happened and areas where PSG was dominated by FC Barcelona. I remember one important point is the ball. When a team puts the other, it is more likely to win. My players gave everything where disappointment late in the game. They feel that they could not do better tonight (Wednesday).



What was the atmosphere in the locker room?

There was a lot of disappointment. The players were exhausted. While Barcelona has managed his game exceptionally well, I do have some regrets. By cons, it has been effective until the last pass.



Can we believe in return?

While some ideas, I’m interested. It will already have better physical condition. We lose players through injury and elements on the bench were not at 100%. One of the senior players will recover as suspended. It will show another face in Barcelona.



Feel your team capable of outputting an intense return match at Chelsea?

do once this kind of games, it is already huge. What we have at heart to demonstrate is that we can be better than tonight. What is needed is to have more rest to prepare for it but it was an important match to play in Nice on Saturday

PSG-Barcelona. The heavy home defeat Parisians to relive

Live

What did you think when Thiago Silva is out injured?

It was the beginning of trouble, the tough game that we lived. When I was asked to be replaced when it was hit in the left thigh was that the evening was difficult to live. It was replaced by a player who was not at 100% (Luiz).



David Luiz was treated at St. Petersburg with alternative methods. What do you think?

They can be effective. There is no medicine that I could check my career. You can have better results than conventional medicine, faster healing. We had not planned to align as fast in the game, not after twenty minutes.



How do you analyze the services of Edinson Cavani and that of Luis Suarez?

They have the same nationality, they play the same position and one was effective today. Luis Suarez has played a dominant team, it was more fun to play at Barca at PSG tonight. It was more difficult to be in the position Edi in that of Suarez.
