Special envoy to Lisbon
Its form : "It's getting better. I started slowly with the team. It was a bit difficult to digest, because it happened in a way… a bit strange. We often take hits, but this time it really hurt me. But I started again with the group for two or three days. I will do anything to play this game. I was already available for the half. I continue to work, I take care to arrive in the best possible shape. After that, it will be up to the coach to decide who will play. But I will do everything to be in the group. ”
"Work always pays off"
PSG finally in the final : “It's an incredible feeling! I've been here for eight years. It was hard before ... It's normal, the Champions League is always like that. This season, we've had an incredible journey so far. There are 90 minutes left. It will be the most important 90 minutes of our football career and in the history of the club. That's why we have to prepare well, prepare well for this match, because we will meet a great team, which has the same desire to win as us. It will be necessary to train to the maximum to get the victory. (…) Work always pays off. We lived through difficult times, me and all the supporters. It's a process that a team has to go through, not just us. There is only one team that wins each year and there are always only five or six favorites. It's really hard to get there. So it's nice to be in the final, but you have to win it. We are happy to be in the final but we know that there are 90 historic minutes left for everyone. We don't want to stop there because in the end, we only remember the winners. You have to win this cup! ”

Format of the "Final 8" : "It was the same for everyone, it did not benefit PSG more than the other teams. We deserved our place in the final. It is not because there is a different format that we are in the final. And conversely, it is not because the format would have been the same as the other years that we would not have been there ... We won our two matches. Against Atalanta, it was complicated. We scored at the end, but we deserved to win. We had a lot of chances. Against Leipzig, we also had an incredible match because they didn't have a chance. And it's not easy at this level of the competition to play a game like that ... In a way, it's beautiful, because anything can happen in a game. But sometimes it's even harder. If you don't start well, you've lost ... So we're very happy with our course. ”
Pact between players during confinement : “It's not really a pact in fact. Normal things. You always have to have a clear goal in mind, be able to count on a group of 25-26 players to go to the end, give everything ... And that's what we are doing. "
"It's a historic moment for the club, but also for us"
The latest from Thiago Silva : “We lived it all together! Incredible moments, difficult moments… He's a player, a person I will always be close to, even if we never play together again (after the final). He's been my captain for years. He's an amazing person off the pitch too. He has always given everything for PSG. Once again, we had good matches, others very hard where we suffered, we also celebrated. So I let myself go to be even happier for him that we have the opportunity to play this match, a Champions League final. Thiago is very quiet. He knows what he wants, and that's what we all want: to take this cup, now that we're so close. I don't think Thiago is planning on what to do next, he only has Sunday's match in mind, the idea of enjoying the next few days, like all Parisians, because it is a historic moment for the club. , but also for us. It is the first final for most players. We will not think of anything else in the next three days, we only think about the final and to prepare well for this match. "

Bayern : “It's a very strong team. Defense, midfielder, attack ... It's a very physical team too, with quality players. They also deserved to be in the final. Lyon also had a great run by excluding Juventus and Manchester City. And even against Bayern they could have opened the scoring in the first quarter of an hour ... In one minute they were close to scoring and it was 1-0 for Bayern (Gnabry opened the scoring a minute later Toko-Ekambi's post, editor's note) ... It was a bit difficult to digest, but that's the big teams, those who are used to playing this kind of match and who can change the way they play if they don't start well. They scored a lot of goals, they always show their superiority against their opponents. Both teams deserved to be in the final. It will be a great game for all the people. A Champions League final, it is normal that it is against a team like Bayern, a historic team which has already lifted this trophy and which has often reached the final. We are happy to be able to face this team to win this match. ”
