With hindsight, they may even wonder how they could not regain the locker room at the break led to the score, so much they dominated the Parisians. André Silva's penalty denied by Donnarumma (12th) changed a lot of things, it would have allowed the Leipzig players to lead before the break.

This is what Jesse Marsch (47) regretted at a press conference. According to the American technician, his team was even better than his opponent in the evening, no offense to Mauricio Pochettino.

“We played well from the start, scoring early. But, by missing this penalty, it changed the situation and PSG came back. For us, it is not easy now. We were better than PSG but unfortunately we only collected one point. From the start, we were very aggressive and we were able to secure several chances, we had confidence and put in difficulty the Parisian defense but also their midfield, as we had expected.

Then PSG had some dangerous situations. After the 2-1 we gave up a bit and lost confidence and were lucky not to take a third. Then, we said to ourselves that we could do better, with aggression, with confidence and we were better in the end, so we wanted to try to win. ” RB Leipzig are last in group A with one point.
