“”PSG is one of the strongest clubs. I always have a big relationship with the emir and Nasser (al-Khelaïfi). You will not scare them. It was a difficult time for Kylian. He has always dreamed of going to Real Madrid since he was a child. I knew it. He's a big boy. Going to realize your dreams is sometimes betraying a given word. I was the coach who saw him as a boy who comes to ask you for advice. It was not easy. I couldn't go against my interests, I was the PSG coach. But I saw a boy whose eyes shone for another club. It is very difficult. I have always had the same speech with him. I was loyal to my club and my values. In the end, he stayed in Paris, but he managed to realize his dream“Said the Argentinian.
