Main striker of Paris Saint-Germain club Edinson Cavani scored a goal in the first UEFA Champions League match, but was still strongly criticized after the game ended in a draw against London's Arsenal.
In the first A group match, PSG fought against Arsenal in front of their own fans. E. Cavani and PSG started the match very successfully - the Uruguayan scored a goal already in the 42nd second. However, Arsenal equalized, and E. Cavani missed at least three great opportunities during the 90 minutes.
"We played really good match. We played much better than in the 1-1 draw with Saint-Etienne in the French league. There were a lot of positive things that we saw in the game against Arsenal, but we were punished for not converting chances," said the striker.
"In this tournament, it is important to win as many points as possible. As I said, the match was really good, but the finishing was poor. I take responsibility for that, as I had perfect opportunities to score.
But this is football - sometimes the ball goes into the goal, and sometimes it doesn't. Now we have to continue to work hard, because there were positive things in this game," Cavani concluded.
