This was the objective all these years, and it has been achieved. We have reached the goal. To be a bit of a killjoy, we still have one match left at home, we will try to win it to finish in the best possible way.

Good evening Youssouf. Objective fulfilled with the Club’s return to the Champions League!

This was the objective all these years, and it has been achieved. We have reached the goal. To be a bit of a killjoy, we still have one match left at home, we will try to win it to finish in the best possible way.

It will be easier to approach it with the objective already achieved?

Yes and no. You will have to put a little pressure on yourself to finish well, even if you know that the objective has been achieved. It would be nice to win in front of our fans in order to have a great celebration with them.

Is it a successful season with this qualification in hand?

More or less because there are always a few things to change for next season. We know that we did not come back properly from the break but thanks to our thunderous start to the season, we managed to keep in front and get points back from those who were in front of us.

You have another successful match with another goal. Are you in your best form at the best of times?

It’s my most prolific season and I’m very happy to be there for the team. I have always tried to be present and it is true that with the goals and the assists, it is a plus. After all these years, it’s so much the better that the objective has been achieved, and my work has been rewarded.
