“It was a difficult match to prepare for. The players needed a rest and some time with their families but every time they pull on the Paris Saint-Germain shirt, there’s that connection with the fans, and amongst the players themselves. What we showed again today is that, despite mistakes and a lot of things missing, we’re the team we’ve always been.
We always talk about the players who start the match, but it’s very important to be ready to come on as a substitute, especially in this sort of match. All the players are on the same page, and that’s very important, because to win big trophies, you need everyone to pull together.”
“It’s the best possible way to start the season. It shows the ambition of the players, the club, the manager, our President and our board. We really deserve this trophy. It was a very good match, despite having had very little training. We managed to overcome the difficult moments in the match and I’m delighted to be lifting this trophy once again. It’s a pleasure for me, and for the whole team.
We can hear our supporters every single time! Right from the warm-up, we can tell they’re there. They really make all the difference throughout the match. They drive us forward. They’ll be vital for us again this season. I hope they’ll always be with us because we’re going to give it our all on the pitch to achieve some more great things this season!”
“I’m really pleased, really happy. I arrived here a few days ago. I’m really happy to have been able to get back into action and play my first match with the team today. I’m also really happy for the squad. It’s my first trophy, and I hope there will be more to come.”
