"It's difficult to make a fair assessment. I think we had an interesting first half, but we made a mistake for their second goal, and after that it was difficult. But I'm pleased with what I saw. I saw several academy youngsters play very well. This match was about improving our physical condition. It's not the result we would have liked, but that's football.
When you play against Paris Saint-Germain, it's a source of motivation for every team, that's only natural. It's our first week of pre-season, and we had a lot of academy players in the squad. They're very young players, and I have to highlight both their quality and their mentality. In three days, we'll play another friendly. It's to be expected, we're waiting for our international players to return before we can really see what our team looks like."
"I'm very happy to be back on the pitch with my teammates, it had been a long time. The feelings are coming back, and that's true for the rest of the squad too. It was a good first match despite the defeat, and we'll keep progressing step by step. For me, it was important to rejoin the squad right from the start of the season. I worked really well with the medical staff to make sure I was ready for the return to training. It was a difficult first match, but we're taking the positives from it. It was only our first game, and we'll use it to build momentum."
