Paris Saint-Germain are currently placed 25th in the 36-team Champions League standings following their 1-2 home defeat to Atletico Madrid.
Head coach Luis Enrique attributed the loss to bad luck, while admitting the Ligue 1 giants’ qualification chances are in danger.
The Parisians were put in front by Warren Zaire Emery’s goal but Nahuel Molina equalised and a late goal from Angel Correa stole it for the Spanish outfit.
Although PSG had a handful of chances through Achraf Hakimi, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembele, they could not convert without a recognised poacher leading the line.
“There are no words. I think that in our three home games, we were highly superior to our opponents but we did not have any luck,” Enrique said.
“As long as there are matches, we will fight,” he added, as PSG next travel to Bayern Munich on November 26.
PSG are sitted in 25th, just in the elimination zone, midway through the group phase.
“I’ve been in the game for over 30 years and I can’t explain it. It’s just bad luck. We were infinitely superior to our opponents,” said Enrique.
“We would have deserved to win our three home games. Comfortably.”
Quizzed if PSG’s chances to go through the league phase were in danger, he said: “Undoubtedly.
“We created 50 chances in three games and we failed to convert so many of them… we need 20 clear chances to score and our opponents sneeze and they score… it sounds like a bad joke,” he said.
“Creating chances is the team’s responsibility and I’m responsible for the team, so I’m responsible for the results. If I fail, I will fail with my ideas. We’re on the right path.”
