What he remembers from PSG's victory
« It was a difficult meeting. Lens are a difficult team to maneuver around and it has always been tough against them this season. It's very hard to face a team that defends with so much character. The match started well, we had generated danger, but we were barely able to do so. The problems then arrived in the second part of the half, when
Lens was increasingly dangerous. From the goal conceded, it seemed like the match was getting complicated. In the second half, we set a more intense pace. We looked for more depth. We are happy with this victory and we are happy to continue this very positive dynamic. We can move on to a competition in which we place a lot of hope. »
Kvaratskhelia
« Was he presented? I can talk about him. The way I'm going to use him is as an attacker. He's a player we wanted to sign from the start. He has absolutely everything you look for in a rookie. He has the experience acquired since youth, he has a lot of personality, he can dribble, he knows how to score, he has good defensive ability, so he is a very good reinforcement. The attack was very good, but Fourth is an excellent reinforcement who will be able to demonstrate this over the years he will stay.«

-Judge
« It's nothing serious, we didn't want to take any risks. We didn't want there to be any injuries. There were some strange situations during the last training session. He had had a lot of playing time so we thought it was best to rest him. »
Stagger
« Bradley had an absolutely exceptional season. He scored and provided an assist Wednesday and today. It's a wonderful season. This is probably going to be his best season in the pros. Players are not machines. You don't just have to press a button to make it work. You always have to give your best. We are sure to see him come back, he scored in the last two games and that will do him good in terms of confidence. We always have confidence in him and he repays that by working consistently. Whether he scores more or fewer goals, it's the best season of his young career. »
The positioning of Nuno Mendes
« It’s this capacity for versatility that he has that encouraged me to move him up. He is very good with and without the ball. He is one of the players who causes the most imbalances. He is capable of participating in the triangle game, of providing amplitude, of playing as number 9. I like this diversity that he offers me. For me he was the player who offers options and I love that. »
