In a tweet after the match, Ramos expressed his disappointment in the team’s performance, saying they were not at the level required by the competition. He acknowledged that they failed to handle the key details and missed their main objective.

Ramos, who joined PSG on a free transfer from Real Madrid last 2 summers, called the defeat painful but said that champions are reborn from defeat and forged in adversity. He also promised that the team would come back stronger in future competitions.

The 35-year-old defender missed the first leg of the match due to injury but played the full 90 minutes in the second leg. Despite his presence, PSG struggled to contain Bayern’s attacking prowess and failed to create clear-cut chances on the night.

PSG have now been eliminated from the Champions League at the last-16 stage for the second consecutive season. The French club will now shift their focus to the domestic league, where they are currently second in Ligue 1, four points behind leaders Lille.
