They must play a grand final after the end of the championship: them, the Coupe de France, us, the final of the Champions League. The management of playing time for tomorrow’s match will be different. Pierre Sage will probably do the same thing as me. It’s a celebration for French football, with the two best teams of the season. We will try to show our level, Lens too”he assured.
