Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, President of Paris Saint-Germain, spoke to CBS Sports Golazo after the penalty shoot-out victory (1-1 on aggregate, then 1-4 on penalties) over Liverpool (Liverpool/PSG video highlights) at Anfield on Tuesday in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 2024-2025.
Al-Khelaïfi “they’re all the best.”
Where do you place this performance in your history at PSG ?
One of the best, if not the best. Because Liverpool are the best club in Europe today, they were first in the league phase and are leaders in the Premier League. It’s a special moment.
There’s been a change of strategy at PSG, with fewer stars. How far do you think you can go ?
We’ve been building for 14 years, and every period is important for the club. Now, the star is the team, along with the coach. I can’t say who the best player is, they’re all the best.
Al-Khelaïfi “a great personality.”
Great pride ?
Yes, honestly. We knew it wouldn’t be easy here, and we have great respect for Liverpool and its supporters. They’re one of the best clubs in history and one of the best teams today. So it’s extraordinary to win here.
What’s more, we have one of the youngest teams. They’ve shown great character. I’m very proud to show it here.
