Post-match comments of coach Fatih Terim and our players

After our team's 5-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in France, Coach Terim and two of our players gave their post-match comments about the game and result.
Fatih Terim: "That was a sad end for us. It would have been better, if it did not end this way. Sometimes bitter ends bring important and beautiful stories. I hope we write that kind of story in league and cup. PSG is better than us. We have to admit that. They are way better, they are in a different weight class. We could hold on only for 30-35 minutes. We had some half chances in that timespan but it does not really matter. They are a really good team and we had been performing to worst of our abilities. We have to openly say that. Our fans must have understood our situation from my attitude and words that this was so. I want to thank everyone who were with us until the end of our Champions League games. Months ago, media told me that we brought "quality names" in the transfer, I answered hope they also show they are good players. Now we have three critical league games and one critical cup game. We should win them with the support of our fans. In January 2020, some roster change is inevitable. If we do not change some things, it would cause problem for our club today and also tomorrow."
Younes Belhanda: "We played good games in our home, we could have got points but we couldn't. We played against great teams like PSG and Real Madrid. It breaks your heart to lose 5-0, 6-0. We will continue to compete in league and cup as we did last year. We came back from deficit and won the title last year. We have to work more to succeed in Champions League. We have not performed well in UCL for these two seasons. Turkish press is spreading rumors. I still have a one and a half year contract here, I am here."
Radamel Falcao: "We started the game well, actually. I don't think we started badly. But when you lose focus against such a high-level team, you inevitably get punished. Personally, I am not 100% right now. I couldn't play for two months. We are favorites for league and cup. There are things that we should fix and do better. With each passing day and game, we'll get better. I hope we will reach to happy endings."
