From our special correspondent in Lisbon,
Eight years he has been at Paris Saint-Germain. 313 games on the clock. But only one dream. Win the Champions League with PSG. Marco Verratti has always said it, he will not leave the capital without lifting the Cup with the big ears. Curious dilemma for Parisian supporters: win the C1 by activating the moral clause of departure imposed by the owl or cry a big blow on Sunday night but keep the Italian one more year.
Marco Verratti, obviously has only one desire. To win. “It's nice when you're in the final, he said during a press briefing on Friday, but you also have to win to remember those days. We don't want to stop there. We have to win this cup. To achieve their ends, the Parisians will have to overcome the Bavarian mountain. And Verratti, who saw Lyon get knocked out in front of his TV, knows the complicated task.
“Bayern are a very strong, very physical team with quality players. Lyon could have opened the scoring, there could have been 1-0 for them and finally it was Bayern who put the 1-0. But that's it, the big teams that are used to playing these games. They deserve to be there, they scored a lot and showed that they were superior to their opponents. It's a C1 final it's normal that it is against a great team like Bayern. "
Verratti works to be there on Sunday
As to whether the Italian will be 100% for the final, that's another story. In any case he is working on it, he who we saw playing the last minutes of the half against Leipzig. “It's getting better, I started slowly with the team. It's a bit hard to deal with, I came back a bit strange but started again with the group. I will do everything to be present [Sunday]. I continue to work and do the therapy to be in the group. "
