The Portuguese defender experienced a rollercoaster evening in the capital after admitting fault for PSG’s opening goal before netting his maiden strike in the Diagonale shirt. Rather than letting the mistake affect his focus, Nazinho cleared his head and channeled positive energy back into his team-mates. He stressed that individual contributions are secondary to collective effort, even after scoring a crucial equalizer.
“I made a mistake on the PSG goal. I admitted it to my teammates, as I didn’t see the ball… after it happened, I mainly just tried to clear my head, stay positive, and transmit good energy to my teammates,” Nazinho explained.
