You’re entering the history of PSG and France?

Tonight, that was the goal. We had a very clear objective, to come here to win. The coach told us not to give up, to play as usual. Honestly, we’re proud of ourselves. We played a very good match, a beautiful final, against a very strong team that put in a lot of intensity. We’re proud of ourselves, and we’re going to keep going like this all season.

A special strength in penalty shootouts? When your back is against the wall?

This team has a lot of character. We’re a collective. That’s what the coach wanted, he always conveyed that: the team above all. It shows what kind of team we are.

Zaïre-Emery: “Honestly, it feels good.”

Physically back at the highest level?

Honestly, it feels good to be like this, to play like this, to put in so much intensity. I have to keep going like this. There’s a huge margin for improvement, we have to keep going all season. This is only the beginning, the biggest part is yet to come.
