Former Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery has relived the “worst moment” in his managerial career by talking through his side’s 6-1 loss away to Barcelona in the Champions League, explaining that he felt one of his critical players went missing during the second half of the encounter.
PSG went into the last-16 second-leg match following a 4-0 win over the Catalans at home but collapsed in spectacular style at Camp Nou, conceding three times in the final three minutes as they were eliminated from the competition in historic fashion.
While Emery has lamented the handling of the encounter by German official Deniz Aytekin, he claimed that one of his “important players” checked out mentally.
