It's a funny evening, with the silence of the supporters.

What do you remember from this match and the season?

MAURICIO POCHETTINO.

A title is a title.

We give it the value it has.

We are happy.

It is the 10th in the club's history.

Yes, the evening was weird, the circumstances too, but that's in the past.

We must learn from this experience to build for the future.

Do you feel like champion of France when there was no party?

We celebrated it with the staff and the players, I have champagne on my T-shirt.

The club hadn't planned anything as a celebration.

The club will undoubtedly celebrate it against Metz on the last day.

We celebrated it well.

We are champions, we cannot be sad.

When we don't win the championship, we are sad.

So it has value.

It was not planned to celebrate it on the ground.

The celebrations will await the game against Metz.

The bar of the requirement is very high in Paris, with the Champions League as a goal.

So there is disappointment when there is not the European Cup at the end, which has never been won in 50 years of existence.

What was the mood in the locker room?

A great atmosphere, the one when you win titles.

It should be celebrated, it is a merit.

It is an immense joy on a personal level.

I've been a player here, captain.

Then coach.

It's a dream come true.

I won three titles in 18 months, it gives me pleasure.

We must give value to titles by celebrating them.

10th title in 50 years of history!

A story is small steps, and I am very happy to be part of a part of this story, to have contributed to strengthening the institution.

This is your first championship title as a coach.

What do you feel in this funny atmosphere, without euphoria or jubilation?

We are going through difficult times in the relationship with the supporters.

We do what we have to do but we hope that the situation will improve.

The club is above everything.

We hope there will be respect for this title, the club's tenth.

We live in a democracy and I respect all demonstrations.

I hope the situation will get better.

Why have you never taken over Lens?

The important thing was to win the title today.

In numerical superiority, we may have underestimated the opponent.

We could also have scored before.
