“Imagine if we end up losing 5-0 against PSG. It would certainly spoil my birthday,” expressed Anderlecht goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski in an interview with Het Nieuwsbla before the match. Unfortunately, his premonition turned into reality as PSG, led by the formidable Ibrahimovic, secured a resounding 5-0 victory. Reflecting on the match, defender Fabrice N’Sakala admitted that PSG is currently operating on a different level.
“We were taken by surprise, facing players of immense quality. The disparity between the two teams was evident. It’s a significant disappointment, but the outcome became apparent early on. Zlatan turned the game around, showcasing their superiority. We’re not the first to fall victim to PSG. We’ll learn, mature, and aim for improvement in the return match,” N’Sakala commented.
He acknowledged the challenge of facing PSG, emphasizing their attempt to compete despite the evident gap in quality. N’Sakala also mentioned his friend Blaise Matuidi’s strong performance and expressed a desire to pose more difficulties for him in the future.
