Christophe Galtier (PSG coach,

after the 4-2 victory over Nantes

)

 : “

I am satisfied with the 11 goals scored in the last three league matches.

We have that power, it's an important asset.

But in the last two home games, we conceded far too many goals, five.

We made a very good start.

And after leading 2-0... Did we relax?

We had however talked a lot about it after Lille and before Marseille.

Did the players think the game was going to be easy?

We take this first goal full of audacity but it is also a mistake and patatrac, it gives hope to Nantes which suffered enormously until then, and we had 10-20 difficult minutes, we take a goal on kick stopped foot and we find ourselves in an incredible scenario, a bit like the match against Lille.

We talked about it at the break and we came back with better intentions,

we are happy to score this third goal.

And we had to hang on because we had players leave with sores, knowing that there were already absences.

We will remember the victory but we cannot hide the fact that we give too much hope to an opponent, even when he is almost knocked out.

We won't have the right to have this kind of behavior on Wednesday...

It's a privilege for a coach to have a player like (Kylian Mbappé), the best striker in the world.

Christophe Galtier

Kylian Mbappé's record (201 goals at PSG)?

It's a privilege to experience it live and a privilege for a coach to have a player like him, the best striker in the world in my eyes.

Our supporters but also people who love French football must appreciate the fact of having such a player in our championship.

I quickly saw that he was going to be obsessed with going for this goal.

He is a player with great maturity, great mastery of events, good management.

He is determined to want to break a lot of records, to ensure that the team wins and goes as high as possible.

It's a privilege for me to have witnessed this, a privilege at PSG to have a striker like Kylian.

Antoine Kombouaré (Nantes coach)

 :

Mixed feelings because we made a catastrophic start to the match, PSG logically leads 2-0.

Strangely, maybe PSG let go of the grip a bit, we were able to come out, play and we started to think that it was possible to score a small goal.

We are 2-2 at half-time, we are happy but we know that the hardest part is yet to come.

It's a PSG team that wears out, with its battering.

The sequence of matches cost us a lot, we lacked freshness and we weren't able to avoid the third goal.

Afterwards, it's complicated, even if we have two very good situations to come back to 3-3.

I'm proud because we showed character despite everything.

We could have gone down against a great team and especially two very great players, Messi and Kylian.

What do I say to myself at 2-0?

That I was pissed off on the pitch, that I was bored because that's not the image I have of my team... I didn't like the face we showed.

But I didn't feel the warm-up and everything... I squealed just before the game started because there were things I didn't like.

I threw a mouthful just before the start of the match because there are things that I didn't like.

Antoine Kombouare

PSG capable of winning the C1?

Yes.

Firstly because it's my club, I'm not very objective.

I really wish they won it.

But I also think so because they have arguments to cause problems for the opponent.

The hardest march will be Wednesday.

If you manage to pass this round... I wish them all the harm.

But it will be very hard... (…) I love this club, I owe it a lot.

Nantes and PSG are my two favorite clubs.

I spent almost 12 years here, I was a player, reserve and first team coach.

There is a lot of recognition.

It's difficult when you ask me about PSG... I can't tell you anything other than PSG will win the C1.

I don't know when... If it's this year, I'll be super happy for Christophe too, a very good friend, and a French coach.

Finally, they put a French coach at PSG,

It's good.
