Mattéo Guendouzi still has a little red and blue blood.
Invited this Wednesday at a press conference to talk about the quarter-final of the Champions League that will oppose PSG to Bayern Munich on April 7, the captain of the France Espoirs team recalled how much he appreciates the capital club .
“I started at 6 years old at PSG.
This is my favorite club in France.
I wish him to go as far as possible and to take his revenge on last season.
In my opinion, they do not need advice to play against Bayern, which are an excellent team, surely the best in Europe now.
Last summer, during the Final 8 in Lisbon, the Bavarians won 1-0 against Paris in the Champions League final.
Mattéo Guendouzi wore the colors of PSG between 2005 and 2014 before joining the Lorient training center.
This Thursday, in Hungary, he will be on the meadow to face Denmark for the Bleuets' first match at the Euro hopes.
He is approaching this meeting with a lot of ambition: “We know it will be a very complicated Euro but we have a magnificent generation.
All the players are very great players.
We have the objective of doing something very big at the Euro.
We have to stay focused on us, I have confidence in this team, in this generation.
"

Loaned to Hertha Berlin by Arsenal, the native of Poissy (Yvelines) has "found playing time and the pleasure of playing" this season.
He has played 20 of his team's 26 matches in the Bundesliga and will be one of Sylvain Ripoll's main stints at the Euro.
The coach of the Bleuets was laudatory towards him this Wednesday: “Beyond his technical qualities, of the fact that he manages the ball well and the tempo, Mattéo, it is enthusiasm, freshness and a guarantee that we will live the events and not suffer them.
“We will have to respond to this tomorrow.
