What They're Saying
Lille manager Herve Renard (via Ligue 1): "You have to live within your means. Our attacking sector is younger now. We do this job for matches like this and we have to harness the adrenaline. The main thing is to pose them problems, pose problems to Paris Saint-Germain. We also need to play with a high technical level and not to think that we can just sit in and wait without having saves to make, without folding."

PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi: "This win in Montreal [against Lyon for the Trophee des Champs] absolutely confirms that our ambitions haven't change in the slightest. We want to win every title on offer in France and to continue to grow on the European stage."
