Bayern/PSG – Doué already warns Arsenal, ‘we’re here to win’ | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain drew 1-1 against Bayern Munich and qualified (5-6 on aggregate, Bayern/PSG highlights) this Wednesday at the Allianz Arena in the second leg of the semifinal (final on May 30 against Arsenal) of the 2025-2026 Champions League. After this qualification, Paris midfielder/forward Désiré Doué (20) spoke in the mixed zone.

Doué: “that’s what allowed us to win the match.”

What’s the mood like in the squad?

“We’re super happy, we’re celebrating it calmly all together in the dressing room. We’re very happy, because it’s a win where we all fought for each other. Once again, we showed a great team spirit and we’re really, really very happy.

What ingredients will be needed for the final?

We don’t need to add much before a match like that; these are games where we’re individually highly motivated. These are the matches we play football for—since we were little, we’ve dreamed about them. We did the same things as usual, and more. We attacked, we were well organized, we defended well, as a team, and that’s what allowed us to win the match.

Doué: “There is always a lot for us to learn, this is top-level football.”

Things to improve?

Offensively, we can improve to score more goals. Defensively, we can avoid conceding. There is always a lot for us to learn, this is top-level football. There will always be flaws, weaknesses. But overall, we played a very great match.

(Defend our title?

We’re here to win, not to defend anything. We’re here to win.

Doué: “we know where we want to go and what we want to achieve this year.”

A different motivation this year?

Last year, we went into it without having won beforehand. But we’ll be highly motivated, it’s a Champions League final, every final is different. Anything can happen. Before that, we’re going to focus on Ligue 1, which we still have to play to win the title. After that, we’ll have time to focus on the final and give everything.

Paris managed to respond to a difficult spell during the season?

That’s what you say every time, that there are tough moments, less tough moments. Now, we’ve won, so it’s going to be euphoria. But we’re not getting carried away. We stay humble. We’re confident in our strength, we know where we want to go and what we want to achieve this year.
