Martin: Paris is the top team, if you can t play the football your way, they will win in the end

In the second round of the Champions League stage, Barcelona was reversed by Paris 1-2. In an interview after the game, Barcelona defender Gerald Martin said that the team was not in the best form in the last 15 minutes of the first half and the entire second half.

Martin said this: "I think we started the game in a good shape, but in the last 15 minutes of the first half and in the second half, we were not at our best. We lost control of the ball and lost the ball frequently. The opponent was a strong team and they eventually managed to impose their style and rhythm on us."

"If a team puts pressure on you throughout the second half, you will be defeated. If you have to lose, it's good to lose now so that we can learn from it and improve in the season... When the knockout comes, that won't happen again."

"We didn't play the game we wanted, but we need to analyze and improve, and I think we've always maintained a good level before. They're a top team and if you can't play the football the way you do, they'll win the game."
