“We want to write history here as a coaching staff.
“I don't know how long I will be here, if you feel at ease where you are and you feel the trust of the people around you. Why make limits for yourself?
“I am very happy for that support, I hope to pay it back with hard work. I don't know or results.”

“The first half was very right, it was hard to put pressure on them. In the second half we could do more damage and eventually we deserved the victory, but it was very difficult as always against Monaco.”
PSG will now focus their attention on the play-offs of the Champions League Knock-out, where they will be confronted with colleague Ligue 1 Side Brest on Tuesday.
The Luis Enrique team took care of their place in the second round of the competition with a 4-1 thrashing from Stuttgart after a slow start in the new 36-team League phase.

“We will never stop fighting. That is our goal this season: fight until the last minute of every competition to try to write history.”
