Ancelotti: I Would’ve Jumped Off A Bridge If I Was PSG Boss

Napoli’s Manager, Carlo Ancelotti said he would have jumped off a bridge if he was in charge of Paris Saint German after their champions league capitulation.

PSG squandered a first-leg lead as the French champions were sensationally eliminated on away goals by manchester United in a dramatic last-16 tie on Wednesday.

Thomas Tuchel’s PSG led 2-0 following the trip to Old Trafford but were beaten 3-1 in Paris, where Marcus Rashford’s controversial 94th-minute penalty sent the Ligue 1 giants out.

Asked about PSG’s exit, Ancelotti – who led the capital club to Ligue 1 glory in 2012-13 was stunned following his team’s success in the Europa League.

“It was incredible,” Italian boss Ancelotti said via Sky Sport Italia. “Incredible. “If I had been on the PSG bench, I don’t know what I would’ve done. Probably find the closest bridge and jump off it.”

Ancelotti was speaking after Napoli accounted for Red Bull Salzburg 3-0 in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday.

Arkadiusz Milik, Fabian Ruiz and a Jerome Onguene own goal put Napoli in complete control, though centre-back duo Kalidou Koulibaly and Nikola Maksimovic will miss the return fixture through suspension.

“I am not worried about their absence, as we have reliable centre-backs, but I was more concerned by the lack of balance in the final stages,” Ancelotti said.

“It’s a good result, there are still 90 minutes to play and we cannot make calculations. We did some things well, some not so well, and we’ve got to work on those.
