"Every Champions League game is difficult, and the pre-match feeling is the same as what it has been in the past. Kids never stop playing, and it's the same for us as a team. We always want to play our style of football, and we can't wait for this competition to start because it'll give us excellent memories."
"I think that your first Champions League is always the hardest one to win. Sometimes, the players and the fans don't think that they're capable of winning a trophy like that, but now, they know that it's possible; we're capable of winning the Champions League. It'll obviously be difficult, but I hope that with our mentality, we'll be able to improve and to have a great season."
"I think and I hope that each player can improve, both individually and collectively. We have a lot of injuries at the moment, but I want to highlight the team's mentality in terms of overcoming that. I think that we're coming into this season's competition with more confidence than at the same point last season, and our aim for this opening game is to win it."
"The team is ready. In the first week of the season, we lacked fluidity on the ball, which was normal, but we've got some incredible players, and as professionals, they quickly regained their instincts. We saw that in training and in games, and now, we're working at a very high level."
"Atalanta changed their manager this summer, so it'll be difficult for us to predict how they'll play, but just like in previous seasons, we're talking about a tough team with quality players who press high and who know how to use the ball. It's always hard to play against Italian teams. We need to adapt to our opponents' playing style, but that's one of our qualities, and tomorrow's game will be about managing to do so."
"We're the European champions, and for Paris as a city, for Paris Saint-Germain as a club and for these fans, our aim is to win a second Champions League in order to make even more history. It'll be very difficult to do so, but we need to be ambitious and to always think about how to improve. That's our mentality."
