“Le Classique is tiring, but I’m very happy! Some people thought that this would be easy, but I didn’t. Today, we again saw how tough it is to play in Le Classique, especially at the Vélodrome, but I think that we played really well. The second half was much better than the first. We tried to improve on our first-half display and to create a lot of chances. We managed to do so, and we’re really happy to get these three points, which we know are important to our fans.”
“I’m really happy. I just wanted to win this game for the fans, for our supporters, who couldn’t be here. This win is for them."
On his goal: “I only remember that Désiré took the ball and I did the run in behind. I just saw the ball coming to me and saw the ball going in. I celebrated with my teammates, and it was a really good moment.”
“It’s always a pleasure to win here. When you come here and win, it’s so good, regardless of whether it was close or not. We’ve had easier games here, but we played well today. We also had to defend, and even though they were second from bottom before this game, they’re a good team that challenged us on the pitch. We managed to overcome our problems to win, and that feels so good. I’m really happy to have won here.
"As we often say, you don’t play Le Classique, you win it, be it here or at home, and we’re really happy to have won this game. As for my goal, I think I’ve equalled Lucas Moura’s goal tally at the club, right? 46 goals is a great total! We know how difficult it is to score goals, but when you get the chance to help the team to win, it’s always good, especially here in Marseille.”
