Thomas Tuchel: 'With patience and confidence'

Thomas Tuchel, Thiago Silva and Kylian Mbappé gave us their thoughts on the 1-0 Ligue 1 win over Nantes to close the year in style.

Thomas Tuchel (Paris Saint-Germain coach)
"We lacked precision, which is unusual for us. In spite of everything, it was a good match, we controlled it. It was tight, but we had a lot of chances, and showed a lot of patience and confidence. I'm very happy. This first half of the season has been extraordinary. We won our opening games and continued winning."

Thiago Silva (Paris Saint-Germain defender)
"I think it was a good match despite everything. We created a lot of chances that we didn't manage to put away. If we had scored earlier, the game would surely have been different. Nantes sat deep and played on the counter-attack. Defensively, we were solid. We have worked very well in this first half of the season. Everyone should be congratulated for the work they have done so far. We have to keep going like that as that will enable us to go far."

Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain forward)
"It was the last game of a long year with a lot of matches. We were tired, but we wanted to pick up one last win to go off on holiday with a sense of mission accomplished, round off a great year and a great first half to the season. We're now going to rest and recharge our batteries. My goal? It's not the most beautiful, but it's important because it gave us the win."
