The capital club impressed on all levels, particularly with its attractive offensive play but also with its more than united collective. A method which has won over all observers including former Parisian defender David Luiz.
The Brazilian spoke about the Parisian success during an interview with the newspaper l’Team and revealed the name of the person who made the difference. “A current PSG player who impresses me?

He’s someone who knows what he’s doing, who understands football, who understands life. He is an example for me, someone for whom I have a lot of admiration. »

“PSG? It’s one of the best teams I’ve played on. We were unlucky to win the Champions League together. We were close. But the two years I was in France, I won all the national trophies. We really enjoyed playing this possession style of football. I miss this team a lot. Otherwise, it was one of the best moments of my career. The only disappointment is that this team failed to win the Champions League. I remember that in the second match against City, we played without several players, so there was disappointment about that. But that’s all. »
