“We will have to rest, it was a mentally difficult match. I never thought of going home. From start to finish, from the warm-up, we only thought of qualifying for the half. Nobody is going to take my head off that I want to go to the final, ”continued the 28-year-old.

On the verge of elimination before overturning the meeting, PSG has "taken a step forward", according to Ney, aware that "another very difficult is coming". “We will have to settle what we can to make another great game. We are experiencing very strong things. We really have a great group, we are a family, we know that with this state of mind it's impossible to put us out of competition. We knew that a ball could arrive, that even after the equalizer we could score a second goal, ”he added.

What to go to the end? “The desire I have to win the Champions League was there long before, and never left. There are two games left, only one to go to the final, we will give everything, ”Neymar promised.
