Marco Verratti, a former key midfielder with Paris Saint-Germain (2012-2023) now with Al-Arabi SC, spoke to Canal Plus during the Monaco Grand Prix about the imminent Champions League final between the Parisian club and Inter Milan. The Italian player expressed his impatience and enthusiasm at the idea of experiencing this exceptional event with his friends, while showing his unwavering support for his club.
Verratti “I’ll obviously be behind Paris”.
“I can’t wait for us to get there, I can’t wait for this day to arrive. I hope it will be a great match. I’ll obviously be behind Paris. I’ll be going to the match with friends. It’s an incredible event, you have to make the most of it and live it to the full. I hope it goes well. There are no favourites in the final. Both teams have earned their place. After that, it’s a final, which is always difficult. Paris has had a great season, and I hope it will be even better after the match.
He loves the club, as he says over and over again. His support for PSG, against an Italian club, shows just how important the club is to his career. His desire to see PSG win its first Champions League, without him, is a fine and honourable one. He might be bitter that he didn’t get there in his day, but there’s no room for jealousy, and we’ll have to be behind PSG for what could be a historic moment.
We can’t wait, just like Verratti. This match is starting to take on such importance that we can’t afford to miss out. The match will be tense, like a final, with no favourites, just two teams ready to do battle. Let’s hope PSG come out on top and get the whole Parisian crowd going.
