The Parisian defender returned to his team’s heavy setback (4-1) at Newcastle this Wednesday.

Lucas Hernandez (PSG defender, after the 4-1 defeat at Newcastle ) : «We were warned, we knew it wouldn’t be an easy match. It’s the Champions League… Away, if you don’t put in the impact, the rhythm, you end up with a result like that… It’s up to us to change, everything, to have more impact and be more aggressive from the start of the match. We knew they were going to press high from the start. It’s up to us to know how to manage the weak and strong moments well… We knew the opponent was going to play good football. It’s football, it’s the Champions League.

It’s up to us to turn the situation around, starting on Sunday against Rennes and against Milan in C1, a crucial match… Luis Enrique’s choices? It’s a coach’s choice. We wanted to try to put the opposing defense in difficulty. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t… Today it didn’t work… It’s up to us to continue and take the right path“. (on Canal+)
