PSG’s Thomas Meunier has revealed that the UCL round-of-16 exit to Manchester United this year is the “biggest joke in the history of football.”
PSG beat United 2-0 at Old Trafford in the first leg but fell to 3-1 home defeat in the return leg to crash out. The winning goal was scored from a late penalty awarded by the video assistant referee for a handball by defender Presnel Kimpembe.
Thomas has however said that defeat was worse than the disaster against Barcelona after a 4-0 first leg lead a season before.
His words, “It was the biggest joke in the history of football,”
“I would have bet €1 million that we would not lose.
“They did not even have chances and they still scored three goals. It was even more shocking than Barcelona.”
“The Champions League is still the major problem,”
“Winning this competition and being part of the big ones like Real Madrid and Barca, which is what a lot of international communication has focused on, will take a long time. PSG is a club that is growing.”
On his situation at PSG, “I am neither hot nor cold about it [social media criticism from PSG fans],”
“Sometimes I have fun with it.
“I have values. When I talk about something, I try to do so as sincerely as possible. It is my world; I am my own person and I will stay this way. The majority of fans support me.”
