Quotes
“I think it’s a good experience for us. PSG is a good team that is building to win the Champions League," said Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri after the 4-0 defeat to Paris-Saint Germain in Los Angeles. "They have a big squad with big players and for our players it was a good experience. “They are a little ahead of us in their preparation (for the season). We wanted to press them, but it was difficult.
“When you go to press and you don’t arrive at the right time, they move the ball quickly away from you.
“Maybe if we had scored a goal when we had the chance at the start of the second half, maybe we can change something, but it was a good, good experience. A bad result, but I think we can improve from this defeat.”
