Paris Saint-Germain had to watch the scoreboard in their 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday night. In addition, manager Luis Enrique offered his reaction when AC Milan took the lead against Newcastle United.
It wasn’t PSG’s night as the capital club wasted several scoring chances in the first half. Later in the second half, Dortmund opened the scoring and Newcastle registered the first goal against AC Milan.
Despite this, the Ligue 1 side started to get lucky when Warren Zaire-Emery scored the equalizer and Christian Pulisic equalized against the Magpies. AC Milan would take the lead and win, sending PSG into the playoffs.
Luis Enrique had to change his game plan late
PSG faced the UEFA Europa League again and somehow avoided relegation. In a post-match interview with RMC Sport, Luis Enrique responded honestly when he learned that AC Milan had taken a 2-1 lead over the Premier League club.
“Until the 85th minute we weren’t worried about everything (Newcastle vs Milan),” Henrico told French media. – When we found out that AC Milan won and took the lead, that changed things. We decided to keep the ball more and not take too many risks.
