How do you feel after the victory ?
Lots of emotions, lots of emotions (laughs). We took 2 goals that we could have avoided, but afterwards the team’s reaction was incredible. The support from our fans was incredible. After the 0-2 scoreline, they kept singing. And tonight, they were definitely our 12th man on the pitch.
A big blow for PSG ?
City are a team everyone knows. It’s always difficult to play against City. But tonight, everyone saw the ability of Paris Saint-Germain and the PSG players. We need to keep going like this.
Donnarumma: “The mentality, our style of play and confidence mean we can win this style of match.”
Is the aim to keep going and go far ?
Yes, I hope we can keep going like this, because everyone wants to keep going like this. You have to work hard to have this kind of evening. But I think the team is ready to go far in any competition.
What made the difference ?
We’re a mentally strong team, and tonight I think that mentality was effective. That was fundamental, because without mentality tonight, we were bound to lose. But mentality, our style of play and confidence mean that we can win this kind of match.
