Paris Saint-Germain manager, Luis Enrique, has said his team ‘didn’t deserve’ to be beaten 4-1 by Newcastle United in the Champions League.
The Magpies ran riot against the French Ligue1 side on Wednesday night and were 4-1 better at the final whistle.
Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schar were the scorers for the English Premier League side on the night.
The England side outplayed their Ligue1 opponents completely, maybe because the Frenchmen lined up in a 4-2-2 formation, which has been described as lacking a strong spine.
Enrigue continued with the former despite going 2-0 down before the break.
He told Canal+: “I thought it was for the best, and I still do.
“Those are difficult games to live through for a manager. I sincerely think the result is a bit unfair, but not totally.
“Congratulations to Newcastle, they played very good football. They were effective in the last part of the pitch and we made some mistakes, it is hard to accept that. If you make mistakes you pay for that.
“Their press worked. We tried to put in front of their goal as many chances as possible but we weren’t so effective in the last part of the pitch.
“But the scoreline is excessive. The result is so big for them. But I think we didn’t deserve that result.”
