Christophe Galtier (Lille coach):
“I am very proud of my players.
This victory is truly theirs.
It was necessary to have a different behavior compared to the Coupe de France match (3-0 defeat in Paris) and that against Nîmes (1-2 defeat at home).
I told them this morning, during a rather long speech, that we had played well against Ajax and Paris.
But each time, we were eliminated.
To be at a very high level, you need something else.
It is sometimes necessary to be less beautiful, but a little more precise on the tactical level, and especially to have a great debauchery of energy, to be clear about the investments.
And in that sense, there is the game plan, and what the players put into it.
And they put a lot of determination, desire, self-sacrifice.
I congratulate them, that's how they were able to win this match.
The changes compared to the Coupe de France?
Much more density in our team block, much more balance when we took out the ball to avoid blocks, and give them as little depth as possible.
This is how we prepared for this match.
Afterwards, we could have been much more dangerous.
We haven't been enough.
In the first half, we had this ability to break the lines and carry the ball to the opponent's surface.
It was more difficult in the second half and from the hour of play ... On a defensive level, my players were very good, very lucid, with a lot of self-sacrifice.
Title candidate?
We are first with 66 points on the 31st day.
I'll let you make the comments (smiles).
But we are in the fight.
Monaco is there, Lyon and Paris too.
We are six points ahead of Lyon, who are playing in Lens tonight.
It may not seem like much and I think it is little.
There are still seven matches to play, 21 points to take.
What is certain is that my team took four points against Paris and Monaco.
It will be necessary to perform against Metz and Montpellier for the match in Lyon to be a meeting, with the same state of mind, the same commitment.
We will see what happens in Lyon.
But we are in the fight anyway ... Xeka behaved inappropriately, inappropriate after training.
And so he suffered a sanction.
Jonathan David?
He has a very bad ankle injury. "

Mauricio Pochettino (PSG coach):
“I am disappointed with the result and the performance.
I'm not worried, but we are in a situation that means we will have to fight to the end.
There are plenty of circumstances that make it happen like this.
We can't find the regularity we are looking for.
There are a lot of things happening.
We are not looking for excuses, but these are factors that inevitably affect and prevent finding regularity.
The reality we are experiencing is complex and unprecedented.
These are things that must be mastered.
We did not play the game we wanted and we hope to regain our level and our consistency quickly.
We are disappointed, we are not happy, but we could also have perhaps obtained a better result, we dominated at the end.
In these three months of work, we were not able to work as we wanted.
Everything was rosy after Lyon, it's different today.
There are plenty of situations that change every day and you have to adapt to everyday life.
Returns to Munich?
Alessandro Florenzi, no news.
We will see in the coming days for Mauro Icardi.
There was inevitably fatigue for the internationals, there was fatigue, not only at PSG for that matter.
Today, we did not have a fantastic match.
We haven't found a way to score and have more chances.
We could have had a better result.
It was a closed match.
A draw would have been more deserved.
We lost, as we won matches.
Responsibility is collective.
It is not interesting to underline this or that individual performance. "
