Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier has warned they need to stop leaking goals after conceding five in their last two games against Troyes and Maccabi Haifa.
What did Christophe Galtier say?
Simply winning games against smaller sides in Ligue 1 and the Champions League is no longer enough for Paris Saint-Germain. To ensure that they finally cross the line in Europe, they need more complete wins against these teams and the goal drain has been a bit of an issue lately. Despite a 4-3 victory at Troyes on Saturday inspired by Argentinian Lionel Messi, Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier was unhappy with his side’s defensive contribution.
The manager of Paris Saint-Germain said after the match they conceded three goals, which is three goals too many. According to Christophe Galtier, they need to fix everything. They have scored 11 goals this week but conceded five, which is too many. The French coach says these three nights are more than half of what they have lost so far. According to Galtier they will need to work with the players and fix this because in the Champions League when they concede three goals they have very little chance of winning.
A little about the topic
As a result, three goals conceded against Troyes threatened to deny them another Ligue 1 win. And although there is currently little danger of them losing their position at the top of the table, they do not want a repeat of the 2020-21 season, when Lille beat them to the title.
What will happen after this for Paris Saint-Germain?
Paris Saint-Germain have already secured a safe passage to the Champions League knockout stage, but they have yet to find out if they will qualify as group winners or runners-up. For Paris Saint-Germain to beat Benfica for first place, they need to beat the Bianconeri on Wednesday night.
