Tuchel believes PSG unlucky to lose Liverpool match

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel believes his side were unlucky in Tuesday night's 3-2 loss to Liverpool.

The visitors clawed their way back from a two goal deficit to tie things up with eight minutes remaining, but Roberto Firmino spoiled the fightback with a stoppage time stunner.

And Tuchel wasn't happy when speaking to reports after the game.

"Maybe the score didn't tell the story of the game," Tuchel said.

"Right at the end, we had the chance with Julian Draxler that could have won it before Liverpool scored.

"We put in a great performance in the first half. For me, the result was not logical or correct.

"We conceded two goals in the first half but never at any point did we lose our confidence.

"We played with a lot of bravery and mental strength. Maybe in the second half we gave the ball away too easily but this is Anfield, Jurgen Klopp has worked with his team for three years, Liverpool press you and make it hard. But we never lost our shape.

"Through our efforts we managed to get the equalising goal. But the end was very, very tough."
