PSG-Arsenal: "I have always had confidence in my players, my coach, my staff," exults Nasser Al-Khelaïfi

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi (PSG president, after the qualification against Arsenal ) : "Honestly, I don't know how to explain my feeling... We are very happy, very proud of this moment. The players, the coach, the staff, the sports advisor... Everyone. The fans. Everyone who works at the club, the management. We are starting to write the great history of PSG today. We are in the Champions League final. With three games left in the league phase, we weren't sure we would go through. The road has been very long and hard. But I always had confidence in my players, my coach, my staff, I knew we were on the right track to get there. Today, we won both matches in the semi-finals, it's magnificent for everyone, the club, the confidence of the players... We are very proud.

My words to the group? I told them how proud I was. We showed that we're a great team, with great players. We can win against anyone. We have young players, it's true, but they are great players, with a mindset, confidence, and quality. Today, we have a very strong team. The players play together, fight together. The atmosphere is magnificent, on and off the pitch. But I want to say something very important: we're not finished. There's still a very important match (the final against Inter, editor's note). We want to celebrate tonight (Wednesday), party, but we have to be focused on this final; anything can happen. A final behind closed doors in 2020? It's special today. We're going to play the final with our fans. That wasn't the case last time. It will be different for us too. The feeling is magnificent.
