“Neymar tried to help the team. People will try to find a culprit. We are all guilty, though,” Daily Mail quoted Silva as saying at post-match.”
Paris Saint-Germain captain, Thiago Silva has blamed the entire team for their side’s 3-2 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League fixture played on Tuesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s side defeated PSG 3-2 at Anfield in their first Champions League game of the season.
The Reds raced into a 2-0 lead before halftime but the visitors fought back to level at 2-2.
It was the substitute, Roberto Firmino’s stoppage-time goal that secured a dramatic and deserved win for the hosts.
Silva, however, refused to put the blame on a fellow teammate, Neymar, saying the forward simply “did what the coach asked of him”.
“Neymar tried to help the team. People will try to find a culprit. We are all guilty, though,” Daily Mail quoted Silva as saying at post-match.
“We were in trouble in the first half, but we showed character and scored. I am happy with my team’s performance, the match was of a high level.”
