Blaise Matuidi’s comments provide insight into the challenging nature of the PSG-Nancy match during the 28th day of Ligue 1. According to Matuidi, there was an awareness within the team that the match would be complicated, and indeed, it proved to be so. Paris Saint-Germain found themselves trailing at halftime against Nancy.
However, the team managed to turn the game around in the second half, securing a victory with two goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was the top scorer in Ligue 1 at that time. Matuidi attributes the challenging first half to “heavy legs” possibly resulting from a previous match on Wednesday, specifically the 8th final second leg of the UEFA Champions League against Valencia, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Matuidi expressed satisfaction with the team’s response in the second half, emphasizing their burst of pride and character. Despite the initial difficulties, PSG showcased resilience and determination, ultimately winning the match 2-1. Importantly, this victory marked PSG’s first win of the season after trailing, highlighting the team’s ability to overcome adversity.
