Meeting Highlights…RENNES
Our schedule has been beneficial. In both competitions, the Cup and the L1, we met the best teams. Rennes is in a very good dynamic, one of the best in Europe. They have only lost against AC Milan in the last eleven matches. They have high level individuals. This is going to be a test. These are adversaries who will force us to show our best face.
…TITLE RACE
I believe this advance has been present for several weeks. We are very happy with this advance. It may be a handicap but it is up to us to ensure that this possible drop in motivation does not appear. Our goal is to win all competitions.
…PROGRESS
We worked on the first recovery, our withdrawal, our high pressure for example this week. Depending on what we see or who we are going to face, we work on certain aspects. The road map is to improve the squad. Next year, there will be fewer players arriving. But there will always be arrivals, with the ambition to improve at each position. Always with this attractive, offensive, effective idea of play. We want to feel that our supporters appreciate the way we play.

Manager on Rennes…INJURY REPORT
Enzo Le Fée, Fabian Rieder and Azor Matusiwa will be absent for this match. Martin Terrier will be present despite his injury against Milan last Thursday.
…PSG
Paris remains very strong. They can go deep, dribble in all areas of play in the offensive area, then they are very often in numerical superiority inside the game, so we have to see how we position ourselves, what spaces we want to attack when we have the ball.
…ABOUT MATCH
Compared to previous years, it is a team which has fewer holes, presses better, it is also structured on the defensive level whereas sometimes, before, when we played Paris, if we managed to spend forty-five, sixty minutes , we could say that there were openings afterwards. There, it's less the case and then it also has the difference of big qualities on the transitions.
