"In Paris, the objective is to win the Champions League, not Ligue 1 or the Coupe de France."

PSG were eliminated by Real Madrid in the round of 16 on 9 March 2022, losing 1-3 after a 1-0 first leg win.

"There was a period of change, uncomfortable situations, situations that did not make it feel possible to work in a stable environment, like there is today."

"Tottenham, but not only them." "Other very big clubs as well."

"PSG told me it had a medium and long-term project. I had a contract to respect. It was clear."
