The final scoreline, in Sage’s view, did not reflect the run of play, and he described the outcome as harsh and unfair.\n\nSpeaking after the match, Sage refused to label the emotion as frustration, instead emphasizing a profound disappointment. He praised his team’s effort and commitment, insisting they had done enough to earn at least a share of the spoils. The Lens boss felt the match was decided by fine margins that did not go their way, leaving him to rue what might have been.\n\nThe defeat was particularly bitter given the context of Lens’ recent battles against the league’s elite. While PSG’s star power is undeniable, Lens have often risen to the occasion in past meetings, and Sage believed this was another such display that fell foul of luck and circumstance. The result keeps Lens in a precarious position as they look to maintain their standing in the upper half of the table.\n\nSage’s assessment was tinged with a mix of pride and sorrow. He noted that his players had followed the game plan to the letter, creating openings and limiting PSG’s vaunted attack for long periods. The final result, however, left them empty-handed, a scenario Sage struggled to accept as just.\n\nAdding to the woes for Lens was a worrying injury to influential midfielder Baidoo, who was forced from the pitch during the contest. Baidoo’s premature exit compounded the frustration, as he had been a pivotal figure in Lens’ setup. The player himself was visibly distressed and concerned as he made his way to the sidelines, fearing the severity of the setback.\n\nMedical examinations are pending, and the club’s medical team remains cautious. Early reports indicate that the injury is not a reoccurrence of the hamstring issue that sidelined Baidoo previously, but definitive answers will only come after detailed scans. The uncertainly hangs heavy over the players and staff, with everyone hoping for positive news.\n\nSage acknowledged Baidoo’s anxiety and promised that the club would do everything in its power to accelerate his recovery. He stressed that the medical department would give 100% effort to have Baidoo ready for the upcoming clash against Nice, aware of the significant role the midfielder plays in the squad’s dynamic.\n\nThe potential absence of Baidoo for the Nice fixture presents a tactical headache for Sage. The midfielder’s creativity and work rate have been key assets, and losing him would force a reshuffle. The manager will be closely monitoring the situation, with possible replacements being considered should the worst be confirmed.\n\nLens’ schedule does not allow for much respite, and the performance against PSG, while admirable in Sage’s eyes, ultimately yielded no points. The focus now shifts swiftly to the next challenge, where rectifying the result becomes imperative. Sage will demand the same level of intensity, hoping fortune will finally favor his side.\n\nIn the backdrop of a competitive Ligue 1 campaign, every point matters. Lens cannot afford to let such valiant efforts go to waste if they are to achieve their seasonal objectives. Sage’s belief in his squad remains unshaken, but the harsh reality of the table means they must convert performances into tangible rewards.\n\nThe emotional rollercoaster of the PSG loss, coupled with Baidoo’s injury scare, tests the resilience of the group. Sage will need to lift spirits while planning for a vital encounter that could define their momentum. The lessons from the capital defeat will be absorbed, but only if Lens can rebound quickly.\n\nAs the dust settles, Sage’s words resonate: his team merited a better fate. Whether they can channel that sense of injustice into a winning performance against Nice remains to be seen. The Lens faithful will hope that their team’s efforts are soon rewarded, and that Baidoo’s injury is nothing more than a minor scare.\n\nBased on reporting from L'Equipe.","news","Pierre Sage believes Lens were harshly beaten by PSG, claiming they deserved a draw at least, as Baidoo's hamstring injury raises concerns before the Nice","326257536443355136","Lens","330151567565000705","326135626208382976","Coupe de France","327055218783031296","Lens vs Nice","2026-05-13T22:18:47Z","pierre-sage-lens-deserved-better-in-psg-loss-baidoo-injury","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FLa-deception-de-pierre-sage-apres-la-defaite-de-lens-face-au-psg-on-meritait-autre-chose-que-cette-defaite\u002F1675635#at_medium=RSS_feeds",[68,63,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88],"326222707169431552","326222767416414208","326257536078450688","326257537865224192","326257546392244224","326257556060114944","326257600507154432","326257769613103104","326222713142120448",[69,64,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98],"Anderlecht","Lesotho","Paris Saint Germain","Estoril","Nottingham Forest","Estudiantes L.P.","Deportivo Pasto","Capital","Canada","Pierre Sage: Lens Deserved Better in PSG Loss, Baidoo Injury",[101,133,160,180],{"awayTeamId":102,"awayTeamName":103,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":104,"homeTeamId":105,"homeTeamName":106,"id":107,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":108,"matchName":109,"publishedAt":110,"slug":111,"sourceName":112,"sourceURL":113,"teamId":114,"teamName":115,"teamIds":116,"teamNames":124,"title":132},"326255039347691520","Fiorentina","Interim Italy coach Baldini hands Fiorentina's Cher Ndour first cap for friendlies vs Luxembourg and Greece, banking on youth after missing World Cup.","326257539542945792","Juventus","337343515237289985","327054547971215360","Juventus vs Fiorentina","2026-06-02T19:09:50Z","why-italy-s-rebuild-starts-with-youth-ndour-s-debut","Tuttosport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.tuttosport.com\u002Fnews\u002Fcalcio\u002Fitalia\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F02-148999918\u002Fl_idolo_pogba_e_la_gavetta_u21_l_italia_di_baldini_riparte_da_lui_i_giovani_ci_sono\u002F","326257661500723200","Italy",[114,105,102,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,82],"326257664713560064","326222711783165952","326257616814608384","326257616848162816","326257696636407808","326257539769438208","326257665132990464",[115,106,103,125,126,127,128,129,130,131,92],"Luxembourg","Senegal","Palermo","Pescara","Azzurri","Inter","Greece","Why Italy's Rebuild Starts with Youth: Ndour's Debut",{"awayTeamId":134,"awayTeamName":135,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":136,"homeTeamId":137,"homeTeamName":138,"id":139,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":140,"matchName":141,"publishedAt":142,"slug":143,"sourceName":77,"sourceURL":144,"teamId":134,"teamName":135,"teamIds":145,"teamNames":152,"title":159},"326255037950988288","Crystal Palace","Crystal Palace to offer for Lens boss Sage after French Cup triumph.
