In a key match of the 7th round of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain visited the Alvalade Stadium and ultimately suffered a narrow 1-2 defeat to Sporting CP.

Despite failing to secure any points, Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique gave the team a rare high evaluation after the match, stating that it was the team's best away game of the season.

Faced with the defeat, Enrique could not hide his disappointment in the post-match interview, but he emphasized that this emotion stemmed more from the extreme unfairness of the result than from dissatisfaction with the players' performance.

“It’s simply unbelievable,” Enrique admitted. “We dominated the game, controlled the situation, and created a lot of chances. Although we know that football is ultimately about goals, as a team, we were far superior to our opponents on the field, which makes the result even more difficult to accept.”

Despite the disappointing score, Enrique remains confident about the team's future. He stated that the mentality and character displayed by the team in this match gives him the conviction that Paris Saint-Germain will go further in the Champions League.

Compared to the coach's impassioned speech, captain Marquinhos's remarks were more calm and pragmatic. He acknowledged the inevitable frustration of the defeat but emphasized that the team had enough experience to handle it all.

"Although we are a young team, we know exactly what it takes to win. Only through hard training, communication, and the strong bond in the locker room can we overcome this challenge," Marquinhos said.

Despite the recent disappointing exit from the French Cup, Marquinhos reiterated that the team remains in a favorable position in both the Champions League and the league. The entire team will view this defeat as an opportunity for self-reflection, and under the high expectations of both the coach and themselves, will quickly adjust their mindset and continue their pursuit of the season's goals.
