Smiling, relaxed, Ronaldinho is looking forward to the Champions League final.
A few hours before kick-off, he received a dozen journalists, foreign and French, at the Marignan hotel, near the Champs-Élysées, as part of an operation organized by his partner Expedia.
The opportunity for the Brazilian to discuss recent news from PSG, his former club.
Kylian Mbappé
has decided to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
Are you surprised by his decision?
And would you have liked to play with him?
RONALDINHO.
No, I'm not surprised by his decision.
And yes, I would have liked to play with him.
I think that if we had been in the same team, the defenses would have been happy
(he laughs
).
There would have been a lot of good humor in our team.
And above all, I think that with our respective styles of play, we would have formed a very good attacking duo.
What is PSG missing to be in place of Liverpool or Real Madrid tonight at the Stade de France?
I think Paris will win the Champions League very soon.
PSG have the best players in the world.
It's really only a matter of time before the Parisian players celebrate this title of European champion.
Look who's in town... 👀#ExpediaLovesParis |

There is hesitation within Paris Saint-Germain over Neymar's future.
As a Brazilian and a former Parisian, what do you think is best?
For Neymar, but also for the club?
First, from a personal point of view, I want to see my friends happy, whatever club they play for.
But I think all football fans want to see the best players together.
Messi, Neymar and Mbappé are, and people want to see him together.
So I think the best… Is that they play together (and Neymar stays, therefore).
What do Paris and PSG represent for you, which have revealed you to the eyes of Europe?
Both have been very important to me in my life.
PSG was my first club in Europe, Paris is a city where I am very happy.
Whenever I have the opportunity to talk about Paris, I say wonderful things about it.
These are two things that are part of my life.
