Despite the bitterness, PSG does not let itself be defeated. Like the six other teams that played their first Champions League final since 1997, Paris lost to the very experienced Bayern Munich (1-0). Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of PSG, has chosen to highlight the adventure of his team, hot, at the microphone of RMC Sport.
“We're sad, but we don't forget that we have done a lot of positive things this season. We lost 1-0 in the final, we could have scored two or three goals. It was a very close match. In the end, we lost… I'm very proud of our players, we had a great season, a great tournament. No one saw us in the final. We were very close to winning. It's football, we accept it. We're going to do it, we're very close to winning. Tonight we believe in it more than before. I promise you we want to win the Champions League. "

While PSG have often left the competition with their heads down, the scenario and the missed opportunities leave regrets but also hope for the future, as the Qatari leader repeats: "We go out with our heads held high, the players have been great and have created something together. We played against a great Bayern Munich. I have a lot of respect, I congratulate him, but we only lost one goal, it's football. We need little details, this is the first time that we have reached the final. Bayern have been there 11 times. We are very close, we will get there, we will win. "
NAK also sends a message directly to the Parisian fans, gathered at the Parc des Princes or who for some joined the Champs-Elysées after the meeting: “I am sorry for the supporters. Our dream was to bring this cup back to Paris, but I promise you that we will come back with the cup one day, I hope you are proud, we will do everything to win this trophy. "
