"The difference compared to last season is that there was a bigger points gap between us and the second-placed team then. We're always duty-bound to win, though, and we're used to playing with that mentality."
"We've got a tough road ahead because there are a lot of games to come, but we're very happy about that, and we like having this schedule. We got a bad result against OL and a good result against Nantes. We'll look to control what we can control and nothing more. We know that the next few games will be very important, both for our chances of winning the league and for our chances of reaching the Champions League final."
"I think that he's very important for us, both in attack and in defence. He's a different kind of player, a leader. I think that we've managed him well this season in terms of tackling the physical problems that he's had, and I also think that we're again seeing the best of him."
"Kvara is a different kind of player. When we signed him, we already knew about his qualities. He's very comfortable both on and off the ball, and having that kind of player is a real joy for a manager."
"All of the players that we have in midfield mean that we can put out an amazing starting line-up. Warren [Zaïre-Emery] can also play as a right-back, as a left-back... For me, as the manager, it's a real joy to have Fabián [Ruiz] back but also Warren, Viti, João [Neves], Dro [Fernández], [Lucas] Beraldo... These players have the quality to play for this team, and that's important."
"It's wonderful to have these supporters. I've said that so many times, and I'm not tired of repeating it because it really is an exceptional thing to see in football. They've shown that they're with us in the tough times, too, and in that sense, we're above every other team. For us, it's important to show them our level and our ambition."
