Nasser Al-Khelaïfi: 'We love playing these big matches'

Paris Saint-Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and the club captain, Marquinhos gave their take following the draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Nasser al khelaïfi: 

"It's a tough group for all the teams. We love this competition, it is the best club competition in the world. Our players and our coach love playing big matches. I only see the positives. It's going to force our players and our staff to be ready for these games. We'll have to work hard, be very professional and give it our all. We're on the right track, our team wants to progress and there's a lot of motivation for the players, the club and the fans."

MARQUINHOS:

"They're great opponents, with big games in store for us. They're experienced teams with top players who had great seasons last year. It's up to us to prepare as well as we can, because the big games are coming around very quickly. We're a team that's going from strength to strength, and we're assimilating the coach's philosophy better and better. It's going to be a great atmosphere and that's going to motivate us even more to win. We also have an extra strength in our supporters. Our opponents know that it will be hard for them to come and play at the Parc des Princes. Footballers always love a big atmosphere and playing big matches, and that's part of the beauty of the sport. That's another reason why this competition is so great."
