Paris Saint-Germain beat Auxerre 3-1 (PSG/Auxerre video highlights) this Saturday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 34th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025. After the match, Parisian midfielder/attacker Désiré Doué (19) answered journalists’ questions in the mixed zone.
Doué “We’re very happy with the work we’ve done.”
Was it important to finish on a high note ?
It was very important to finish well, at the Parc des Princes in front of our fans, and that’s what we did tonight. There are always things to correct, but tonight we got the job done and we’re very happy.
Vitinha used to say: celebrate before thinking about the two finals. Is it important to enjoy yourself ?
Of course it’s important, because winning the French championship is a very difficult thing. Even if Paris wins it very often, it’s not easy. We’re very happy with the work we’ve done this season in Ligue 1 and we’re going to enjoy it.
How do you feel when you’re at home with the 31st coming up ?
(laughs) At home, it’s my private life (smile), I live normally! But yes, I’m very happy, very excited to be playing in this Champions League final. It’s a first for a lot of people, and we’re going to prepare well.
Doué” is that he feels it’s important for us.
Were the days off necessary before a still long end to the season with the Club World Cup ?
Of course, I think so. If the coach gave us the days off, it’s because he thinks it’s important for us. We took them and came back ready for this match, and we’ll be ready for the next one and the Champions League final.
What’s your assessment of the PSG season ?
We’ll do that at the end of the season (smiles).
A word to the fans ?
Thank you very much to everyone. They’re good to us, they push us in every game. Even the ones that seem so insignificant. Thank you to them, and this is Paris.
