Enzo Maresca said his side started well but conceded two quick goals, which created bad feelings and made the match far harder to control. He admitted that until the first goal his team had played well and was in the game, but conceding two goals in two minutes made things even worse.
The Manchester City manager said his side reshaped its approach at half-time, adjusting how it pressed and how it moved the ball. That change helped them avoid losing their balance and turned a difficult first half into a much stronger second-half performance.
Maresca felt his team deserved more from the game. Even at 3-0 down, he pointed to the number of chances his side had created and insisted they merited something from the match. His view of the contest was clear: the chances were there, and the scoreline did not reflect their effort.
He also noted that Luis Enrique was candid after the final whistle, admitting that PSG had been fortunate on the day. That honesty from the opposing coach added another layer to a match that City believed should have ended differently, leaving Maresca convinced his side had earned a better result.
