The boss of the capital club adds that “the public will have an important role, it is the first time under Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) that a semi-final will be played in public” due to the health crisis linked to Covid, and the first time in 29 years. “We will not have to rely only on the Ultras, but on all the supporters, the entire stadium”he said.

“It’s impossible to be too confident.”

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi also felt his players “focused, confident, but not too much.” “It’s the Champions League, it’s a semi-final, it’s impossible to be too confident. We must not forget that the team is the youngest in the semi-finals”said Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.

“We are building something, it’s the start of a new cycle, for the future, I am very proud of it. We must also highlight everything the team has done to get here. It’s also thanks to that that the supporters are happy today, each on their part did a very good job. he estimated. “Tuesday evening, we represent PSG, Paris, but also France, and all our supporters all over the world,” he concluded.
