“we have two weeks to thoroughly prepare for our ultimate objective”
“We consider the entire context surrounding this match. Everything that occurs here, particularly a defeat, presents opportunities for us to learn and improve. It’s undeniable that we didn’t perform as required. We needed to do better, especially in the first half where we simply weren’t at our usual standard. While we did manage to score in the second half, we must continue to push forward,” stated the PSG captain in a post-match interview. “We have two crucial weeks ahead to thoroughly prepare for this ultimate objective we’re striving for. The championship ceremony was well executed; within the circumstances, it was the only fitting way to celebrate. We celebrated this title, for which we worked incredibly hard throughout the entire year. It’s a league that is exceptionally challenging to win, particularly this season.”
“This marks an existing end to the season, still filled with many challenges for us. Reaching a Champions League final is truly one of the greatest achievements that can happen in a season. Playing in a final – this is my third here in Paris over 13 years – underscores just how difficult it is to reach this stage. Despite today’s loss, we will extract valuable lessons and identify areas for improvement. I am certain our coach will be pushing us rigorously over these next two weeks to ensure we are fully prepared and improved for this Champions League final.”
