Christophe Galtier: PSG's ambition is winning the Champions League

Added at:

The Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier discussed Matchday 1 of the UEFA Champions League, which will see his side face Juventus.

“I noticed that after our win at Nantes, my players quickly switched their focus to the match on Tuesday. It’s a competition that the players love playing in, with excellent exposure and a magnificent trophy up for grabs . Everyone has ensured they have really recovered well and prepared well in the last 48 hours. There is the desire to get started in this competition with an incredible opening match. I am confident in our ability to play, and to play to win. The players have found their feet well in our set-up, our system. We will need to look to our forwards to create as many chances as possible.”

“They are a team with a lot of experience, with players of the very highest level and a coach that knows this competition like the back of his hand. They are a team that is always difficult to beat. People say that Juventus are struggling, they are unbeaten in Serie A and have only conceded two goals. They are difficult to to get past with the intensity that their players bring. Juventus are very strong in the transition.”

“It would be very simplistic to say that Paris Saint-Germain are favourites to win this competition. Every year, there are eight or nine teams that have the qualities to win this trophy. The club has the ambition of winning it. That is legitimate.”
