PSG: “We managed to unite in difficult times”, salutes captain Grace Geyoro

The women's section is nearing the goal of a season really unlike any other, disrupted by the "Hamraoui affair" since the beginning of November.

This Saturday evening, PSG host OL in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League, a week after a 3-2 defeat on the opposing lawn.

But for Grace Geyoro, Parisian captain, there is no reason not to believe in a turnaround as her teammates have managed to regroup after each episode.

“We have not had an easy year”

“We have demonstrated this in several matches, assures the French international at a press conference this Friday.

Despite what happened, we managed to unite in very difficult times in some encounters.

We went to draw this strength.

That's what brings us here.

All the players say it: we haven't had an easy year.

But we stayed strong in our heads.

Tomorrow, we will still experience difficult times.

It will be up to us to stay focused on the match and on football above all”.

Baltimore well surrounded

Without Kheira Hamraoui, dismissed a week from the group after last Saturday's scuffles in training, PSG was able to prepare for this semi-final return more calmly.

Including players like Sandy Baltimore, involved in last week's incident.

“There were events that affected her, confirms Geyoro.

But she remains focused on the field.

I had spoken with her about that.

I trust her and we need her.

Need Baltimore but also the public.

This Saturday evening, PSG will record a new French record for the number of spectators for a women's match with 40,000 people expected.

“It will be another magical evening, hopes the captain of PSG.

They will be there to push us.

It warms the heart to know that these people are coming to encourage us.

We will return the favor on the field.

We're going to give 200%.

And aim for a Champions League final which would soften the Parisian season somewhat.
