On the other hand, he did not wish to comment on the selection which had his preference during this final.

"We are a French club and my second country is France, but for Messi it may be his last World Cup," he said.

Kylian, who will play a second final in a row, it's really magnificent.

He proves that he is the best player today.

I can't wait to be in this final because it's a great pleasure and a source of great pride for me as president of PSG.

If it were up to me, I'd give the title to both.

“Very sad” for Neymar

The Parisian president then had a thought for his 3rd star, the Brazilian Neymar, eliminated in the quarter-finals with Brazil against Croatia (1-1 after, 4-2 on pens).

"I was very sad," he said.

I wanted, as a supporter, a Brazil-Argentina semi-final.

Everyone was waiting for this match.

I know what he did after his injury (during the first match of the World Cup), he did everything to come back quickly and play again.

He did more than the maximum.

It won't be easy for him but I spoke with Luis Campos (PSG football adviser) and the coach (Christophe Galtier) to see how to cheer him up.

I spoke with Neymar and his father and it is very hard for him”.

Finally, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi said he was optimistic that Messi would extend his contract, which expires at the end of the season.

"We have an agreement with him, it's to talk after the World Cup," he said.

He is very happy at the club, he is having a great season with us and he has adapted to French football.

I think he wants to stay.
