Netherlands international, Xavi Simons, has spoken about his desire to win the Champions League.

Leipzig, beaten 1-0 in the first leg, was unable to overthrow Real Madrid last Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabéu (1-1) and lost in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

The young Xavi Simons, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain to the German club, took the opportunity to express his desire to one day lift the big-eared cup.

A shared dream

Asked by TNT Sports after the meeting, Xavi Simons said: “I love playing at this club, I loved my performance. I try to improve every day and I want to lift this Champions League, it’s my dream. »

The ambition of the Dutch attacking midfielder, linked to the Rouge et Bleu until June 2027, joins that of PSG, which has never won the Champions League. A dream that the capital club has been pursuing since its acquisition by Qatar Sports Investments on June 30, 2011.
