"I'm not yet back to 100%. But nobody is, because it's only the start of the season. Teams plan to be ready in February, March... We work hard and I'm working every day in training to get better physically. My injury... the World Cup... that all in the past. It was tough, but it's behind me now. There was a lot of frustration over the summer, but that's football. I'm moving forward. Today I have a lot more reason to be smiling that to be sad. I have always felt good here in Paris. I'm always happy to be on the pitch, playing football. I try to improve every day, every match, to help me team as much as possible."
UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
"Winning the Champions League is very difficult, you have to pay attention to every little detail, be focused every second of every match and always give your very best. That's what we want. We want to build a great Paris Saint-Germain and surprise people."
THOMAS TUCHEL
"He has brought something new to Paris Saint-Germain. I have seen how much he wants to win, I saw it right from our first conversation. I find myself in what he says. He is a young coach that knows what he wants. He shows us that every training session. Working with him is a great experience."
