Thomas Tuchel: 'Very happy with our performance'

Thomas Tuchel (Paris Saint-Germain coach)
"I'm very happy with our performance. We controlled the game by playing in their half of the pitch and by having a lot of possession in the opposition penalty area. It was difficult to create chances as Lyon played very deep. We also had to be careful and keep control of their counter-attacks. This win is deserved, after a good performance and with a clean sheet. It's perfect, the team deserved it. The goal? Neymar is there for that, to make the breakthrough when opponents play very deep. We always try to play as a team, but sometimes you need an individual exploit."

Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain defender)
"Lyon really got stuck in and caused us some problems with some counter-attacks in the first half. After the break, we said we had to control those better and above all keep Memphis on a tight rein. We did that better in the second half. We created some chances, but we needed to be better with our finishing. Our star saved us at the end. After a Champions League game in which there was also a lot of intensity, we managed to reproduce that performance tonight. It's important to win games against fellow contenders. I think our squad is really solid this season. In spite of the changes, the team keeps producing top quality performances. The season is long and we'll need a lot of players. I hope it'll continue like this." Speaking to Canal+

Thiago Silva (Paris Saint-Germain defender)
"It was a difficult game against a compact side that was trying to play on the counter-attack. We deserved the win. I'm happy when the team puts in this kind of performance, a complete one with a win at the end. You saw the team give everything on the pitch. That's what was needed to win here. We did that against Real, we'll have to do it again against Reims. That's how we're going to win big things. I think the squad is ready for that. The goal? It was a tight game. Only players like Neymar can do things like that. It was a nice move, a nice goal."

Ander Herrera (Paris Saint-Germain midfielder)
"We can be happy. I think Lyon are a very good side. They also played in the Champions League this week. We made the difference at the end of the game. When you have players like Neymar, Mbappé, Di Maria....it's easier! But we can be happy because it's not easy to win here against very good players. We're picking up wins, and we have to keep the run going against Reims on Wednesday."

Neymar Jr (Paris Saint-Germain forward)
"It was a tough match. Lyon are a good team, who defended well and who are dangerous on the counter-attack. We played well, it was a good all-round performance. My goal? It always boosts your confidence when you score. I'm very happy to start the season with two important goals."
