Paris Saint-Germain won 1-0 against Angers (video highlights PSG/Angers) this Saturday at the Parc des Princes on Matchday 28 of Ligue 1 2024-2025. After the match, 28-year-old defender Lucas Hernandez spoke to us in the mixed zone. Happiness, future objectives, the coach’s place in the title won and the upcoming match against Aston Villa, he tells all.
Hernandez “It’s true that for us this is just the beginning”.
Is the title finally in your pocket?
Yes, we’re all very happy to have achieved this first title of the season. It’s true that for us it’s just the beginning. It’s one of the most important moments of the season, with so much still to play for. We’re happy tonight, but there are still some big games to come.
Is the Champions League a priority now?
Yes, of course, that was one of the objectives. Our next objective is the Champions League on Wednesday.
Hernandez “We follow the ideas he gives us on the pitch, and try to do the best we can”.
Is the coach the architect of your title?
Yes, he’s the boss. We follow the ideas he gives us on the pitch, and try to do the best we can. Last season it already worked out well, and this season we’re continuing with what the coach gives us. We’ve had an extraordinary season so far, and now we need to keep it up.
Are you thinking of finishing the season unbeaten?
Yes, of course, our first objective was to win the championship, and now that we’re unbeaten, we’re going to continue to focus on that. We’re going to try to take each game as well as we can, and above all not take it lightly. Even if we’re champions in April, and we’re still aiming to stay unbeaten, that’s definitely something to take, and above all to leave the history books to Paris Saint-Germain.
Hernandez “I’m coming back to get some minutes, I’ve got a good feeling”.
Are you aware that this could be an exceptional season?
Yes, like last year. Last year, we also had a great season, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. Now we’ve won the championship, but the most important thing remains.
How do you feel physically after your serious injury?
When you come back from an injury like that, it’s obvious that at first you feel fine and then you have a more complicated time. But now I’m back to get some minutes and I’m feeling good. I’m coming into the most important moment of the season with a lot of confidence.
Hernandez: “I don’t know who the favourite is, but we’ll be favourites at home”.
Who’s the favorite, PSG or Aston Villa?
I don’t know who the favourites are, but we’ll be favourites at home and we’ll have to see what happens in the first leg. We know them, they’re a very good team and it’s no coincidence that they’re in the quarter-finals. It’s going to be a great match for you journalists, but also for the fans, it’s going to be a great match to watch and enjoy.
