"Above all, it was our first half that was bad – it’s disappointing," Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi said after their defeat to Club Brugge.
" We knew that Brugge would defend in a man-marking system and we needed to be more active in our build-up, but we didn’t do that. We were better after the break, but we didn't have enough to break through in the final third.
"Of course, we're now in a difficult situation in our group, but we have to stay positive. We have two tough games against PSG ahead of us, where we have to pick up some points. Our fans always remain positive and that really pushes us on."
The last meeting between PSG and Leipzig in a Champions League match was on 24 November 2020.
PSG claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Leipzig in an encounter that was played at the Parc des Princes in France.
