Ousmane Dembélé: "He has always been a good leader, even last year. When you see what he does on the pitch and what he brings to the team... it's contagious. He's a natural leader."
Ruiz's absence: "He's been out for a while now. We want all our players to be available, especially when it's someone who used to play all the time. With Warren, they're different people, but it's up to us to adapt. We've already shown that when someone is missing, the team steps up and wins. That's the most important thing, no matter how we do it."
Why isn't he affected physically?: "I'm not particularly robust. I've been lucky. We'll keep going this way. Sometimes, you just can't control it. We all recover well. We do what we can to make sure that's the case. Genetics also play a part. Some players are more prone to injuries. I'm just glad it hasn't happened to me."
PSG as favorites: "It's the journalists who say we're favorites. For us, it doesn't mean anything. In this kind of match, there are no favorites. Liverpool is Liverpool. Even if they're not in form, they're still a great team with very good players. On a Champions League night, they can always surprise you. There are two big games. Tomorrow, we'll be 100% focused and alert. That's how we can get good results."
"I hope we have a psychological edge. The mental side is very important. But we can't control how the opponent will play. We can only control our own mindset."
Last year and perfection: "Those were two exceptional matches. The knockout stage was incredible. At Anfield, it was tough. In the first game, we did everything but still felt frustrated. In the second, Alisson made a lot of saves. It wasn't easy. This time, it won't be the same. Both teams have changed. A lot happens in football."
Hugo Ekitiké and his return: "He's a fantastic guy. I really enjoyed the year I spent with him. He already had a lot of talent. I'm glad he managed to play well and succeed. We hope he doesn't play well tomorrow, but I wish him all the best (except for these two matches :smile:)."
Achraf Hakimi: "He's a key part of the team. He gives us an attacking edge that really helps. He's a complete player."
Comparing Liverpool to this year: "I'll say what I've said before. Liverpool will always be Liverpool. We know they're not at their best right now. If we can take advantage of that, we will. But we're being very careful. No matter where they are, they have a great team. It's always dangerous to play against them."
