Juventus goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon, has admitted he is still haunted by Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League defeat to Manchester United in 2018/2019.
United recorded a famous comeback at the Parc des Prince in March 2019, winning 3-1 to progress on away goals.
PSG had won the first leg 2-0 at Old Trafford and were expected to progress comfortably.
However, in the second leg, United took the lead after 111 seconds through Romelu Lukaku and, after Juan Bernat equalised, Lukaku made it 2-1 when goalkeeper Buffon parried a Marcus Rashford shot into his path.
Rashford proved the match-winner in the 94th minute, converting a penalty past Buffon after Presnel Kimpembe had been punished for handball.
“It’s a game I think about at least three or four times a week. It brings up a lot of regrets,” he told L’Equipe.
“I was sure that we would reach the final that season. In Manchester, we won a big game with a great show of force. And unfortunately, I blame myself for an incredible mistake. A mistake that, with the experience I have, I should not have made.
“We thought it was a formality and I got carried away. It was as if the match was of little value because we had already won 2-0 in the first leg and they, the poor guys, had two players available and nine youngsters.”
