Rabiot on PSG defeat: Juventus paid for poor first-half
Adrien Rabiot admits Juventus should’ve done better in their Champions League defeat at PSG.
Kylian Mbappé scored twice in the opening 22 minutes PSG before Weston McKennie’s goal in the second half as the hosts won 2-1.
“We started badly, especially the opening 20 minutes, we suffered, we sat too deep, but then we played well in the second half,” Rabiot told Canale 5.
“We could have done even more, being more clinical. I am a bit angry, especially because of the first half. We conceded two early goals, too early, and the game changed.
“We proved that we could do better in the second half, we had chances, but we must continue to work and think of Benfica at home [in the next game].”
Rabiot added, “We have to work, find the right system and the right players on the pitch, but I think that tonight we did better than in league games.
“Unfortunately, when we lose there is always criticism for the players and the coach.
“We reacted well in the second half and I am glad of it, we showed good things but we must work, it’s a long season and we know it.”
