A beautiful tribute. And strong words which testify to the domination of Paris-SG throughout Europe. Yaya Touré, the coach of Slovan Bratislava, recognized Parisian superiority after the one-sided meeting at the Parc des Princes. “I would like to copy everything from this PSG,” says the former Manchester City or FC Barcelona midfielder. It's incredible. It is a homogeneous, experienced team that adapts, with exceptional players. How coach Luis (Enrique) built this team. It’s a machine, behind, midfield, attack, it’s complete. You can't rush them. They know each other well, it’s not easy, they hurt you.”
Asked about possible regrets after the goal scored in the second half, the Ivorian technician quickly brushed aside this hypothesis: “We have no regrets. We played against harder tonight. In my humble opinion, PSG will still be close to regaining this trophy, as they are strong in all aspects. My players gave the best of themselves. In their team, there are nine players in the running for the Ballon d’Or (10 in total). Danger comes from everywhere. The gap is considerable between our two teams. When we play against the strongest, we understand, the players understand it too. Paris is one of the best teams we will face. And Paris respected us and played hard.”
