It’s difficult to come down from your clouds when you’re a PSG supporter at the moment. A year after making history in Munich by winning their first Champions League against Inter Milan (5-0), the Parisians once again validated their ticket to the final. Victorious in the first leg in what will remain one of the greatest matches of the century in C1 (5-4), Luis Enrique’s men showed character and personality to snatch a draw in Germany (1-1).
Paris will thus become the first French club to compete in three Champions League finals (2020, 2025, 2026), and will have the opportunity to become the second team to win two C1s in a row in the 21st century after Real Madrid (2016, 2017, 2018). This is the ambition of Nasser al-Khelaïfi, who had already publicly affirmed it last year after PSG’s first coronation in the competition.
“We want to write an even bigger story”
“It’s magnificent, two finals, we want to get the second star. I spoke with the players, we have warriors, we have a solid team, we came here to win. We have a lot of respect for Bayern Munich which is a great team, which has great players, and which is one of the best clubs. We created one of the great PSG stories here last year, we want to write an even bigger story”smiled the Parisian boss, moved at the microphone of Channel.
“It’s our dream to win it back, we have a magnificent young team, they fight together, the star is the team, everyone fights, you still see Kvaratskhelia at the last minute… it’s football, it’s Paris Saint-Germain, we have the best coach in the world, the best supporters. Tonight, I only heard from our supporters, they believe in us, and it’s magnificent.” Parisians will be able to celebrate this evening, then it will quickly be a question of turning to Budapest on May 30.
