Fabián Ruiz reveals big PSG ambition | OneFootball

Fabián Ruiz needed time to carve out a regular starting place at Paris Saint-Germain. In his first season, despite featuring prominently in the league, he was often less present on the European stage.

That changed last year. With Warren Zaire-Emery’s confidence waning, Ruiz’s was growing at PSG. He found himself a regular option alongside Vitinha and Joao Neves. It was this trio that was almost inseparable as Les Parisiens went on to win their first-ever UEFA Champions League title.

It capped what was a highly successful season for Luis Enrique’s side, who also won the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France, and the Trophée des Champions, as well as reaching the final of the FIFA Club World Cup, before losing to Chelsea.

Ruiz has now set out his grander ambitions at PSG during an interview with So Foot. “In football, the hardest thing isn’t getting to the top but staying there,” began the Spaniard, who missed out on the current international break with a minor niggle.

He added, “The challenge for us is winning [the Champions League] twice, three times, or four times. It won’t be easy, but who knows? What is certain is that we will do everything to get there.” PSG have won both of their Champions League games this season, the latter coming courtesy of a late Goncalo Ramos winner against Barcelona.
