PSG eliminated Madrid, Draxler 'attack' Emery

PSG lost 1-2 to host Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 of 2017/18, Wednesday (07/3). PSG eliminated with 2-5 aggregates. PSG star Julian Draxler condemns Unai Emery's coach tactics. Cristiano Ronaldo opened up Madrid's lead in 51 minutes. In the 66th minute, PSG lost Marco Verratti who got a second yellow card. PSG had equalized the score through Edinson Cavani in 71 minutes, but Madrid scored a closing goal through Casemiro in the 80th minute. Draxler just entered on 76 minutes. In the remaining time available, with PSG already lost one player, it is difficult for Draxler to be able to contribute means. "I do not know what happened, I was shocked and furious," Draxler told ZDF, as quoted by Goal International. "A goal to equalize the score so 1-1 was created, but that did not change anything for us, I think we should continue to press and play offensively." "We've lost a man, even though the equalizer, everyone in the stadium knows that the game will not turn, because there is no intensity from us on the pitch." "Real Madrid plays with confidence and is not nervous at all." Draxler thinks Emery's strategy is not right. After losing 1-3 in the first leg, PSG should be pressing from the early minutes. "We hitch back and forth, but you can not score goals that way." "You have to press Real Madrid in a deficit of 1-3, not just passing back and forward hoping for a crack." "You have to hit the opponent from the early minutes, we did not do it, so we deserve to be eliminated," Draxler said.
