Hakimi “55 a feeling I can’t describe”
“What made the difference? Our mentality. We showed the character our team has inside. After 0-2 against Manchester City, it wasn’t easy. It’s incredible… It’s a feeling I can’t describe. These are matches that are played inside, where you have to bring out everything you’ve got in you, and that’s what we did, so we’re very happy.
As soon as we arrived at the Parc, we felt the support of the fans. It was incredible, magnificent. I have to thank them for all the support they’ve given us since the start of the season, and we’re going to give everything for Paris Saint-Germain and the Parisian fans.”
For fans, players and staff alike, this victory is more than important. Not only for qualification, but also for the team’s overall confidence, as they arrive at the pivotal moment in their season when they can achieve their objectives.
For the fans, it’s a magical night. Winning such an important match against one of the best teams in Europe will go down in history. Of course, there’s still a long way to go before qualification can be confirmed, but there’s no doubt that this match will prove beneficial over the coming weeks.
