In Paris Saint-Germain’s disappointing draw to RB Leipzig, one of the significant moments in the match was the opening 20 minutes where the capital club conceded the first goal of the game and nearly allowed another if it wasn’t for the penalty kick save by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Leipzig had plenty of other opportunities in the match’s early stages to get a second goal but failed. After the game, manager Mauricio Pochettino spoke to the media at his press conference, where he stated one of the disappointments was how PSG started the game.
“No. Like the players, I’m disappointed with the first 15 or 20 minutes. We had a lot of trouble getting into the game. It’s the biggest disappointment not to start the match the way we wanted,” Pochettino said.
“We regained our energy in the game, and we were able to score two goals. We could have put the 3rd. We were much quieter in the second half. We had the best chances. But then we conceded the penalty. We did not give a good image at the start of the meeting, but we showed character to react.”
