Speaking after the game, Al-Khelaifi has said the following:

'I am very disappointed, I do not understand how we managed to lose this game while playing very well In spite of the gift we gave them after 2 minutes, we checked the game, then that penalty in the 90th which I still can not explain. Football unfortunately is not mathematics, now we have to work and analyze what happened. convinced that replaying 10 thousand times that game we would never lose 1-3, especially with that penalty in the 90th.

"Tuchel? I trust the technician and his decisions, I will not make hasty decisions for losing a game. Any decisions will be taken to mind cold. We will analyze everything calmly starting from the assumption that we trust the coach."
