“One thing, thank you to everyone: the supporters, the coach, the players, the staff, France, Canal+, always believing in us. This one is more beautiful. The first one was beautiful, but doing the back to back is very special. We worked for years to get to this moment, to this trophy. We won, we still want to win yes, but we want to celebrate now. The atmosphere is magnificent, the supporters deserve it, they are the best. Supporters, take it easy, don’t make a problem, we’ll arrive tomorrow to celebrate with you. I think we will come to the Champ de Mars at 2 p.m. »reacted the president of the capital club to the microphone of the encrypted channel.

Many thought we were not capable of doing great things again, the work paid off”declared the Moroccan right-back on M6, co-broadcaster of this Champions League final.
PSG in the legend, Nasri admits it
Even Samir Nasri, a pure Marseille product, recognized the scale of the Rouge et Bleu’s feat. “The first was historic, the second is legendary. PSG enters the very closed circle of clubs capable of keeping their title. So yes, what they did is legendary”judged the former OM player, on Canal+.
