As I said, I know it's a team that you think highly of in many ways,
in terms of the way they play the game.
What did you think this evening?
Exactly the same.
They weren't scared to go at the Parc des Princes and put pressure.
They nearly succeeded.
But like we always said, you know, details matter
in the Champions League.
Mbappé had one, early doors, let's all be honest.
But after you couldn't see Paris going through that pressure,
although they tried at times, they couldn't do it.
I just think that they played exactly how they usually play.
Position went to Paris Saint-Germain.
You can expect that.
As we saw before, Paris Saint-Germain usually have more position
than a lot of teams in the Champions League.
But having said that, it was them.
Missing Oyarzabal, I would have to say also it's a big miss for them.
That's their goal scorer.
That's the guy that gives the last assist.
That's a bit of flair, if you can add.
But they went their way.
That's how they play.
They live and die like that.
But Jeremy will explain it.
When you concede a goal like they concede on a set piece,
it's a tough one to swallow because you were in the game.
And we will, I mean, Jeremy will explain exactly how it happened.
Do that, Jeremy. Let's jump right into that one.
Yeah, I mean, I fell for sort of triode.
He's the one who's marking Kylian Mbappé.
That's his job on corners at the back post.
He's just got to whack on the knee.
So through no fault of his own, he's now got to go off the pitch
to get treatment, which then means they're a man down.
And he's actually marking Kylian Mbappé.
And who scores the goal?
Kylian Mbappé.
Now, it's not Paris Saint-Germain's fault, but I do look at that
and think that is something in the rules that for me doesn't quite feel right.
When a player goes down, they're then at a disadvantage
when a set piece is coming in.
What would you rather see happen in that situation?
Can we wait till he's OK? What's the play?
Yeah, and it's not just saying because this ends up a goal or,
you know, could the defender maybe stay up if it's not too bad?
You've got to make sure it's still 11 v 11 on the pitch
because that is a vital moment in the game.
There is something also very important in that is that Kubo
ended up being that player.
And if you have a guy in that defense,
Kubo shouldn't be with Mbappé on the second post.
He thinks that this player is going to win the header.
He's already thinking about the counter, which you cannot do that with Mbappé.
And that's how they conceded that first goal.
And that's how suddenly now you're in trouble
because you're going to have to go even more so and try to score that goal,
which a one nil, it's not a bad one.
And then they got caught not on the counter.
It was a well built goal that arrived on Barcola on the left hand side.
And then he went on to play a one v one, which actually a bad touch
sold the defender and then he went on to score.
But that's how they went one nil down.
Man of the match in that game was none other than Kylian Mbappé.
And he's been speaking after the game, isn't it?
Congratulations. Two goals, a clean sheet.
The man of the match trophy.
That's pretty much the perfect evening, isn't it?
Yeah, we are happy with the result.
We wanted to win at home.
It was the objective and we did it.
Now we have another game to play before we have three or four games with the league.
So we are happy now, but the job is not done.
And with the return leg to come in San Sebastian,
how important is it to take a lead going into that tie?
It's really important.
Always, always, because we know how tough it is to to take the advantage
in the Champions League.
And now we did it and we have to keep going, to keep working like a team.
And and we're going to be there for win and to go to the quarterfinal.
So thank you very much.
Congratulations.
Oh, well, Kylian Mbappé, we talked a lot about him in the pregame.
We talked about what does his future look like over the next few months?
Is he still at PSG next season?
And I think widely the feeling in football is that he will no longer be at PSG
next season, but rather at Real Madrid.
But I guess that is a big question still.
There's no confirmation officially of whether he will be going to Spain
and to Real Madrid.
There's been talk of Liverpool, Jamie.
There's been talk of him following in the in the foots of another
former French great and going to Arsenal.
What? That's been mentioned.
Thank you. Google it.
It's been mentioned this week.
Yeah. And then you can apologize once you've Googled it.
Micah. No, I meant now.
I'd like you to say that it's there.
He's English.
He's what did you say, Titi?
Ahead of the game.
He's ahead of the game.
His brain, off the field, on the field, everything about him.
His English, his big Spanish.
He's just perfect.
What's that face you're doing, Jamie?
The face of someone who's wrong.
Kylian Mbappe wants Arsenal to transfer to become the next Thierry Henry.
What are you looking at me for?
Where do you think he'll end up?
I don't know, really.
I don't know. I don't have those insights.
But where do you think?
Do you have a hunch, an idea?
No, I don't.
I'm going to wait to see where he's going to go, like everybody.
He's going to Madrid, isn't he?
Would it be a good move for him, Micah, to go to Real Madrid?
I mean, look how many times they win the European Cup.
Well, the Champions League is what we call it now.
I mean, we're Venetius.
We're Venetius, Rodrigo and Bellingham.
Put Mbappe into that as well.
It's just delicious.
What about Jorman City?
We've got enough.
We've got Doku, we've got Griez.
Oh, you don't want Kylian Mbappe?
I didn't say that. I didn't say that.
You said we've got enough.
We've got enough.
So you don't need him?
World winners, Euro winners, league winners.
What more do you want?
World winner.
World Cup.
What do you want?
What do you want from...
World Cup winner.
Yeah, he's...
No, you know how much I love Kylian.
But I'm not going to disrespect any of the players.
You know if he did come to City, right?
Where would he fit in?
Off that left-hand side.
Instead of Jack?
No, look at you.
He doesn't have lights.
I'm not entertaining him.
The other goalscorer tonight for PSG was Bradley Barcola.
You're going to do the honours.
You're going to translate his interview.
Let's try, let's try, let's try.
Thank you, Bradley, for coming after the game.
You knew it was going to be your last ball?
No, honestly, I was waiting to get this opportunity.
I didn't touch a lot of the ball.
And I was waiting for this opportunity.
So, when I had it, I took it.
When you score a goal like that, it's important.
It's your first in a Champions League.
How did you feel?
It's important to score in games like that.
It was like a dream for me.
I was a kid and my family was there.
You had to be patient in the game.
They were putting pressure.
That's what you were waiting for.
Obviously, when they got the ball back, it was very difficult.
Yes, we knew they were putting a lot of pressure.
We knew they were going to be a team that was going to press really well.
And that's true that they did it very well in the first half.
But in the second half, the tempo of the game was a bit higher.
And that's our way and that's why we won the game.
Oh, what a flex.
50% of this table is nice.
I can speak Italian.
What can you speak?
Italian.
I can speak English.
Bayern Munich have lost a first leg in the round of 16 for 12 years.
They lost that one 1-0 to Barca, won the second leg 7-0.
Do you think we'll see a big comeback in this second leg?
I actually don't know the situation that they are in.
Having said that, I think in the last 12 years,
they only lost one time in the round of 16, knocked out of it.
So you will still back them
because it's in three weeks, right?
So a lot can happen in three weeks.
They might be way better.
I thought, and we said it at the beginning,
I think it's the right time to play Bayern.
I don't know if it's going to be the same thing in three weeks.
So I will still back them up to go through.
But it will depend on what's going to happen in the next three weeks,
because when Bayern Munich play two games without having a shot on target,
3-0, 1-0, it doesn't go down too well there.
As you know, you live there.
They don't accept that well.
