What was the atmosphere like in the locker room afterward?
“Everyone was very happy. We’re also really sad for Musiala, for his terrible injury, and we obviously send him all our support. We hope he recovers quickly.”
Did Gianluigi Donnarumma seem very touched?
“Of course, we gave him our support because it’s never easy when these actions end badly. That’s part of football. Now we hope everything goes well in his rehabilitation.”
Doué : “Even in difficult moments, we stay confident.”
What memory do you have of the match against Inter Miami?

“We know what we have to do on the pitch, we know that we can turn any situation around. We have confidence in the coach. So, even in difficult moments, we stay confident and we know that we can get out of any situation.”
