When Dijon traumatizes PSG
It is with the bitter memory of its defeat against Dijon that PSG will face Club Bruges, in the group stage of the Champions League, Wednesday November 6 at 9 p.m., at the Parc des Princes.
Despite the 5-0 first leg victory, thanks notably to a hat-trick by Kylian Mbappé, the Parisians are on the defensive.
Because, the defeat (2-1) against Dijon, the red lantern of the championship, is still not digested after four days.
“I don’t really have an explanation”, says Parisian midfielder Idrissa Gueye. “We are expected, everyone would like to win against PSG. It was a non-match (against Dijon). We hope it will be the last time. You don’t have to take the matches easily and stay focused until the end. “

“It’s a good lesson for us”
After the match lost in Dijon Friday November 1, the Parisian coach had to reassemble his team.
“It was necessary to take two (rest) days, to speak critically with the players. We have to improve, learn. This is a good lesson for us “, recognizes Thomas Tuchel.
“If we play with too much confidence, the idea that nothing can happen, all things can happen,” sums up the PSG coach.
“It’s November! Whether it’s Real Madrid or whatever, no team won the Champions League in November or December,” analyzes the Parisian coach. “That’s why theyou have to keep your feet on the ground, stay modest, and don’t think too much about winning. For us, the challenge is to win the group. “
“I still have confidence in my team because they have shown so many times that they can play at a very serious level. If we look at the result (of the go against Bruges), it was really extraordinary, but we had difficulties for a few minutes “, concludes Thomas Tuchel.
PSG is leader of group A with 9 points against 4 at Real Madrid. The Parisians can already qualify for the 8th final if they win Wednesday (9:00 p.m.).
