‘Barca deserved to lose’

Javier Mascherano had no complaints about Barcelona’s defeat away at Paris Saint-Germain, lamenting the team’s performance.

PSG took a 3-2 victory from the Group F fixture through goals from David Luiz, Marco Verratti and Blaise Matuidi. Lionel Messi and Neymar were on target for Barca but the points remained in France.

“We didn’t do well in the first half and struggled to get into the game,” Mascherano admitted, Sport reports.

“They punished us for our errors. We tried in the second half but it was difficult with the third goal. We conceded two goals from set pieces.

“We didn’t deserve to get a victory here. We’re always worried by defeats and obviously we can improve. We have to correct the mistakes and think about what comes next.”
