Thomas Tuchel: 'We did what we had to to win'
Thomas Tuchel, Ander Herrera and Thiago Silva gave their thoughts on the 4-0 win over Celtic in Tuesday's friendly.
Thomas Tuchel (Paris Saint-Germain coach)
"I'm very happy. Three days before a final, we couldn't take any risks. I'm happy because we were disciplined, we did what we had to to win, scored four goals, didn't concede, and picked up no injuries. They're friendlies, but we were really professional, we played with a lot of intensity, and it's good to arrive at the finals with confidence, showing that we can score and know how to suffer too."
Ander Herrera (Paris Saint-Germain midfielder)
"My goal? It's my first at the Parc des Princes, that's always important, but as I've always said, I'm a team player, I'm not used to scoring goals. So I'm just as happy as if I hadn't scored and we had still won. I think everyone is ready for the cup finals, especially as we want to win trophies against opponents who'll be just as keen to triumph. We have to respect them, just as we did Celtic. I think everyone saw Paris Saint-Germain were determined to win. We're a very compact squad, very strong, very united. So, I'm optimistic, but the best way to win is by respecting all your opponents."
Thiago Silva (Paris Saint-Germain defender)
"It's important to rebuild our understanding on the pitch, because that's what wins us games. It's good to not concede goals too, because we know we have the quality up front to score, and that's what's most important for me as a defender. We now have to work to finish the season well, and we have a tough game on Friday in which we could win a trophy, and another next Friday. Then we'll play the Champions League. We have a lot of respect for Atalanta, but we've got everything to finish this season well, and I'm convinced my team will give everything."

"It's the club's 50th anniversary, it's an important year for the club, the fans, for everyone, and I'll be here whatever happens. I'm going to try and bring back trophies with the team and do all I can to give the best of myself."
