Christophe Galtier

"Obviously we’re disappointed. Whenever you lose, you’re disappointed, but above and beyond the result itself, I was frustrated by the way in which we played tonight. We made far too many mistakes against a Lens side that deserved their victory. We fell behind early but did well to equalise almost immediately. But we then conceded two very avoidable goals, especially the second one where we were caught on the counterattack and we should have been more balanced and organised. Even if we tried to fight back, we had a chance to make it 3-2, but for the first time this season, we completely lost our organisation. Why? I’m not sure, but we will talk with the players concerned and look at the different domains of our play."

Vitinha

"It was a tough game. Very tough. Everyone saw what happened. They won and they played better than us. We have to bounce back because that performance was not at our usual standard. We will make sure that doesn't happen again. Every match is important. We are still top of the table and that's also important to highlight, even if we did lose tonight. We need to think about what happened and quickly get moving forward again."
