With two victories in two C1 matches this season against Atalanta and FC Barcelona, the capital club has for the moment assumed its status as reigning European champion. Questioned by Le Média Carré, French defender Lucas Hernandez showed his ambitions for this new edition.
For him, the capital club can achieve the back-to-back although he is aware that the task will be more than difficult.
“Back to back in LDC? I am confident. That's why I'm here. PSG has the team to do that! With all the good players here, and the young players we have, and especially with the coach we have! And the motivation we have,” he said.
“I feel better and better”
Confined to the role of replacement since last season with the arrival of Willan Pacho in central defense but especially the importance of Nuno Mendes in the left lane, Lucas Hernandez does not admit defeat.
The world champion wants to regain his place in Luis Enrique's starting 11 which he lost due to a serious knee injury during the Champions League semi-final against Borussia Dortmund (23/24 season).
“My last two years? I always believed in myself. I am a very mentally strong person! I knew it was coming back. But last year, with a top team, it's always difficult to get into the starting eleven with their performances in each match. And it's totally logical that I didn't have any playing time. But I was confident to return to my top level. Last year, we had an incredible season. I played a supporting role, but I was happy with what I achieved last year. But things are starting to change and I'm feeling better and better! My big goal at PSG is to become a starter again. » The message is sent.
