As the crucial final against Chelsea approached, Marquinhos, captain of Paris Saint-Germain, gave a speech full of lucidity and humility. He stressed the importance of not succumbing to excess confidence, recalling that each encounter is unique and that past successes should not distort the vision of the present. For him, this final will be a new page, where the PSG’s ability to impose its game while adapting to the opponent will be decisive. Marquinhos insists that the result will depend on the performance of each team, while expressing great confidence in the preparation of the staff and the determination of the players to implement their usual game plan, based on aggression and offensive.

Reece James, captain of Chelsea, showed a measured confidence despite the power of the PSG. He recognized the strength of the Paris team, the defending European champion, but insisted on the uniqueness of a final where the favourites were not always assured of victory. James prefers to adopt a humble but ambitious approach, avoiding presenting himself as a victim. He underlines the quality of his team and Chelsea’s ability to surprise, while stressing the importance of careful preparation and effective opposition to Luis Enrique’s game.

For Reece James, the key to success lies in Chelsea’s preparation and ability to offer real resistance to PSG’s style of play. He is aware of the difficulty of the task, given the success of the Paris team, but remains optimistic about the possibility of marking his own history. The message is clear: Chelsea does not come to witness the consecration of the PSG, but to write his own, with the desire to wage a balanced battle and surprise the world of football.
