"After the Paris Saint Germain club withdrew from the Champions League tournament, the team's forward Julian Draxler did not hide his frustration.
The 24-year-old German only got 14 minutes to show himself in the second leg of the quarterfinal match and failed to do anything special on the field.
"We managed to equalize the score (1:1), but it didn't change the situation. I felt that the team needed to press the opponents and attack their goal.
We lost one player and even after equalizing the score, everyone in the stadium knew that we wouldn't be able to turn the tide, because the team lacked intensity on the field.
Meanwhile, Real played confidently and didn't get nervous at all," said Draxler, who criticized head coach Unai Emery.
"We needed to press the opponents from the beginning of the match. We didn't do that and deservedly had to leave the tournament."
"Last summer, the club spent 400 million euros and everyone was talking about how it would change things. However, we once again failed to go beyond this stage.
I am convinced that the team has more potential, but in such matches, the team lacks something if we want to compete for prestigious trophies."
