Toulouse v PSG: Martinez Novell reflects on defeat with pragmatism | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Toulouse faced off this Saturday at the Stadium as part of the 3rd day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. A match that ended with a Parisian victory 3-6 (video summary Toulouse/PSG). After this match, the coach of the Toulouse team, Carles Martinez Novell, spoke at a press conference. He wanted to downplay the goals conceded.

Of course, the start of the match could have been very damaging. PSG wasn’t necessarily as dominant as in previous matches, and clearly not throughout the entire match, but they were much more efficient. This was mainly due to João Neves (a 20-year-old midfielder) being in a state of grace. He turned difficult shooting situations into superb goals.

It's hard to recover and have real chances of taking points against the Parisians when there is this level of success. Toulouse still made mistakes and obviously needs to correct certain aspects. But Martinez Novell is right not to dramatize. It should not be forgotten that his team managed to trouble PSG in the game and displayed remarkable resilience.
