Andres Iniesta believes Barcelona
were made to pay for their mistakes in a 3-2 defeat to Paris Saint-German on
Tuesday.
Barca traveled to the Parc Des
Princes for the UEFA Champions League Group F clash having won six of their
seven competitive outings without conceding a goal this season.
However, strikes from David Luiz,
Marco Veratti and Blaise Matuidi condemned the Spanish giants to a first loss
under new coach Luis Enrique, as goals Lionel Messi and Neymar were not enough
for them to take anything from an enthralling contest in the French Capital.
And speaking after the game,
Iniesta rued lapses made by Barca, but also remained unbeatt about their
prospects of recovering from the setbacks.
“In some phases, they were the
better side” explained the 30-year old.
“You pay dearly for mistakes in
the Champions League, when your opponents take their goal chances.
“we reacted quickly after they
scored, but we found it hard to equalize or turn the game around.
“it’s tough not to win but we
have to keep going. It is not easy to play here in the Champions League, but we
need to carry on as we have done until now.
“Nobody gives anything away for
free – we lost but we just have to press on.
Javier Mascherano agreed with Iniesta’s comments, saying “You
pay high rice for slight errors in games like this”.
