‘‘It's a unique season, so whenever we can give the players a rest, it's a good thing. Then we manage their minutes and playing time according to each individual's needs. We're playing a Classique this Sunday, and we know it's important, both for the league table and for the fans.’’
"I think they will be at the same level they have been against us so far. They are a good team with good players. Our goal is to win this match and take the three points to stay at the top of the league."
"We know how important this match is, and we want to give our fans a great game of football and a win! These are unique matches; they’re always special. And you can feel the excitement that a Classique brings."
"Every time we play this type of match, the atmosphere is different. It was the same in Marseille. It's an incredible atmosphere, a football atmosphere. What I would like is to see no violence of any kind. Enjoy the match, enjoy how Paris Saint-Germain plays. That's what I would like. The atmosphere is important to us, the atmosphere around the team."
"They're an attacking team, and I think they're similar to us in their approach to the game. So we know it'll be a tough game, but we're motivated to win this Classique. We know the atmosphere will be great tomorrow!"
"When he's at 100%, he's very consistent. Now, we know that this season is unique in terms of physical fitness. We always have to be careful and manage each player according to their needs. But we're very happy with what Ousmane is doing this season."
"When you analyse the two matches against OM this season, they played better in the Trophée des Champions and less well in the league at home. It will be an open, difficult game. Their position in the table means they want to close the gap on us. We also want to win to stay top of the table. But we know it will be a difficult game."
"Unfortunately, he worked hard during his recovery, but he had to have this operation. It’s very bad news for us, and he has our full support. It’s never easy for a player to have to wait to return to action."
