The president of PSG, Nasser Al Khelaifi, gave an interview to the microphones of La Gazzetta dello Sport in which he talked about tonight's awaited match against Milan, valid for the fourth day of the Champions League Group F.
Here are his statements.
"I am disappointed not to be there, I tried to convince the doctor, but it cannot be done (he had knee surgery). It will not be easy to stay away from my players, Luis Enrique, and the sporting director Luis Campos, with whom I am in constant contact. San Siro has an incredible history and atmosphere. It is a fortress where you play against 12 opponents. And I love Milan: I come here often for business and leisure. I will watch it on TV: it will be a titanic challenge between great clubs, truly worthy of the Champions League", said Nasser Al Khelaifi
About Gianluigi Donnarumma:
"Gigio is among the best goalkeepers in the world, he is still young, very professional, a fantastic person. When he signed for us, he won the European Championship with Italy as the best player, an incredible feat for a goalkeeper. We had tried to sign him two or three years earlier. What he has done with Milan is amazing. I have great respect for him and for Milan."
On his presidency of the ECA, Al Khelaifi said:
"Milan and Inter are important active members of the ECA, like many Italian clubs, including Palermo, which has recently joined an institution with about 500 clubs. We work closely with UEFA to develop football in the interest of all, generating more resources for each club. The Saudi league or others are not a threat: we are focused on our standards. UEFA has the best competitions, the best clubs and players, the richest history, and the widest audience of fans in the world. These are the ingredients of success."
