“There are only good memories and now I can go out with my head held high, with a trophy as well, so I will only remember the positives,” he stated.
As he ends a seven-year tenure with the team he joined as a teenager, he said that he thought a lot before kickoff about the possibility he would never play for PSG again.
“With the protocol before a Cup final you have a lot of waiting around and so there is a lot of time to think, and the last thing a footballer needs to be doing is thinking,” stated the 25-year-old.
“All of the memories begin to resurface when you think about them. The feeling of nostalgia and the knowledge that all will end in ninety minutes are both present. It was challenging but also a lot of fun.
