Napoli hold PSG
holding on tight,” said Ancelotti.
PSG sit third, only one point adrift, leaving Buffon with plenty of belief in their last-16 chances.
“Paris played a great game, it was a solid performance and I’m happy because I think we’re on the right road,” Buffon told RMC Sport.
“Red Star did both us and Napoli a big favour earlier but there’s everything to play for in the final matches. “But I’m confident because we’re improving and each draw for us sends an important message.” Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar claimed that referee Bjorn Kuipers said something to him that he should not have during yesterday’s match. The Brazil international, who was subjected to rough treatment from the hosts, said: “The referee told me something he should not have,” said Neymar after the final whistle. “It was disrespectful. “I do not want to repeat what he said to me. However, somebody high up should do something.
“He cannot be as disrespectful as he was with me. On the pitch, we are asked to show respect towards the referees. We should get the same in return.”
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel was disappointed that Napoli were granted a point and that Bernat should have been awarded a second-half penalty.
“For Napoli’s goal, there was an offside,” Tuchel said.
“After that, there is a penalty for the foul on Juan. These decisions are very difficult to accept. However, that is how it is. We lacked a bit of luck.”
PSG chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi went one step further and claimed that the French champions “lost two points because of refereeing errors.”
“I have seen the images and there was an offside in the build-up to Napoli’s goal and we should have had a penalty for the foul on Juan,” Al-Khelaifi said.
“Normally, with the penalty, it is 2-0 and not 1-1, but we will accept it.
“We really need VAR in the Champions League as quickly as possible. We lost two points because of refereeing errors.” – AFP / Agencies
