The reaction of Patrice Lair, the coach of Paris Saint-Germain after the final of the Coupe de France, lost in shoot-out against Olympique Lyonnais.
"Today, I think we deserved as much as they won. We had opportunities, I think we made a consistent match, quality. If we had won, everyone would have said it was normal. Well it's a little too easy.
They had an opportunity by Hegerberg, Kate [Kiedrzynek] made a superb save. We have a ball late in the game, Ouley [Sarr] who could have if it goes by a shot, I think she might have the opportunity to score the goal of the victory. It was a more or less closed match, tactical too.
Me, I was not going to throw myself in the mouth of the wolf, we had taken three in half an hour last week at Parc OL. It was to fit well, to really slow down their actions, they were not dangerous at all. After that, it's a dice game. I think our goal is a little more beautiful than that of Lyon anyway, but hey it's like that, it's the Cup. "
"Extremely disappointed for my players"
They were supported by the public, so much the better. I think Paris, we have a bad image, it will have to be corrected a little bit. I'm Breton, but tonight I'm not necessarily happy to be Breton. Well, I'm a little higher, I think we have the best clubs at the top, we are not in CFA 2, but hey it's like that.
I am extremely disappointed for my players. Me it will pass quickly but my players, all the investment in tactical work, in the preparation, there was still a big debauchery of energy, a big job that has been done all season. We manage to hold Lyon anyway, there are not many teams that have held Lyon, we beat them in December.
And tomorrow, we will train and prepare for a good match in Cardiff and why not that we smile that day. We are a little disappointed, I am very disappointed but not shot.
