PSG’s victory over Toulouse, coupled with another stellar performance from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has indeed solidified their position at the top of Ligue 1. Here are some key quotes from the players and the president of PSG:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: “It was a good match. It was difficult to play on this pitch, which was in very poor condition (…) but we won the match and we took the three points which allow us to advance in the championship. I feel good, very good physically. I don’t know how far we’re going to go but I hope the team will continue at the same pace and based on that, we’ll see what we gain.”
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi (president of PSG): “It wasn’t easy today, after a Champions League match, especially at 2 p.m. What is very important for us are the three points for the title race. We don’t look at Monaco. We look at who we have to play against and we try to win every match until the end. The match against Marseille is always a very special match for us. This month of March is very important for us, a month to make a difference in the Champions League but also in the championship.”
Blaise Matuidi (PSG midfielder): “For you, it’s supposed to be easy all the time. We have to win 4-0 all the time. There is no easy match. Today, it was a complicated match, with a difficult pitch, a good Toulouse team too. But the main thing is there, we did what we had to do to win. We conceded two goals but we still scored four. That’s a lot in a week. It shows that we have offensive talent and that it will be difficult to come after us. It was necessary to finish well; It wasn’t easy after that weekday match in Leverkusen. We will be able to recover well before the clash against Marseille.”
The victory further solidifies PSG’s lead in Ligue 1, and while some may think the league is over, the players and management are focused on maintaining their performance until the end of the season.
