“The standard in the Champions League is so high... You always have to bring everything together, attacking well and defending well. If there’s no balance, it’s difficult. I think what we showed against Chelsea and Liverpool reflects what we showed at the start of the season. But the takeaway is that we can be competitive at any time. There’s an incredible energy between the fans and the players. It’s brilliant. That connection is genuine, and it makes us stronger.”
“We’ve had a difficult schedule, and will be facing one of the best teams at the moment. But we are the defending champions. It’s hard to predict what will happen. We’ve got two big matches ahead of us, and we’re happy to be in the last four.”
“We talk a lot about our three consecutive Champions League semi-finals. We can be proud of what we’ve achieved, but we want even more. We want to be consistent, year after year, and we have a young team that believes in its potential. We know that staying at the top level is very difficult, it’s up to us to keep up the good work.”
“Winning is an obligation for us. And that will still be the case against Lyon on Sunday. Lens won on Friday, so we need to aim to win our next three Ligue 1 matches to get closer to what we want to achieve.”
“You have to know how to manage the squad. We’ve got a lot of matches coming up. We’re used to playing a lot of matches, and we’re doing our best to be competitive in every game whilst keeping a close eye on the players’ fitness.”
“He’s playing a bit less, and that’s normal because it depends on a lot of things. The fixture list, injuries, his own injury. But I’m very pleased with him, he’s a player who’s attached to the club, he’s a Titi, he has a great attitude and plenty of talent. Of course he’ll get the chance to play again, we’re very happy to be working with him.”
“He’s feeling good, he’s been training with the team all week. If everything goes well today, he’ll be in the squad on Sunday, and we hope to be able to give him some playing time.”
