Anthony Gordon admits PSG outclassed Barcelona in Champions League loss
Anthony Gordon said his own performance was not good enough after Barcelona lost 4-2 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. The winger felt PSG deserved the win because they showed more quality and sustained their intensity longer. Gordon added that the defeat could motivate Barcelona to improve and that he still has much more to show.
Gordon started for Barcelona at Parc des Princes in the Champions League league-phase match. He struggled to influence the attack and was beaten by Lucas Hernandez on PSG’s second goal. Speaking to TNT Sports and CBS Sports, he said the hosts were superior, created better moments, and maintained their pressing and tempo longer. He called the contest chaotic and said he was exhausted early and increasingly tired. He noted PSG have been the global benchmark for two years, while Barcelona had begun well. The loss, he felt, could restore motivation.
