It took about three minutes to pack his moving boxes for Germany. Throughout the season, Thomas Tuchel has therefore become the first coach to take Paris to the Champions League semi-finals under the Qatari era, without it being entirely obvious to isolate his part in the success, while the collective project remains unclear.
"The players who entered were exceptional"
Wednesday evening, he started doing everything badly or almost (Icardi in the axis, Gueye and Herrera puffs in the middle, Neymar alone in the world when Paris had the ball) before correcting himself afterwards with the success that we know (thank you Choupo). But it is also because the coaching was faulty in the first place that it is a winner then, and bringing in Mbappé is not really an incredible enlightenment.

The comeback of Bondy's crackinho sent Atalanta back 20 meters, and Tuchel says he never thought the tying goal wouldn't come. Better than that, he felt the turnaround coming. “I told my assistants, if we score a goal, I'm sure we score a second straight away. We played a very, very strong game, it is absolutely deserved ”.
Without denying a small part of success, the one that PSG has often lacked in the competition. “In the end, there is also luck, it's clear but if we watch the whole game, it's absolutely deserved. We had a good game, the 2nd half, we controlled. We played with more confidence, we found a good rhythm. The players who came in were exceptional, they played with a good frame of mind and they (overturned) this game for us. The goals are super late, but it's also the quality and the mentality ”.
