«What if I’m worried? If we look, 4 points in 4 matches, including 3 matches at home… We will have to go and get the points away, it’s difficult. We know what that represents but we are PSG. If we have to go and get the points, we will go. But the truth is, if you want to win you have to correct the details. It’s a tough competition against big teams.
