Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of Paris Saint-Germain, commented on Thursday’s Champions League group stage draw, which will see his club face off against Juventus Turin, Benfica and Maccabi Haifa: “We are really happy to be here, to start this competition. That’s wonderful. This season, we work each game, each training session at 200%, we do the maximum, game by game, until the end. I don’t know where we’re going to go, but of course everyone wants to go as far as possible. The goal is to win every game, focused, with a cool head, I think that’s very important.»

The Qatari also returned to the successful debut on the bench of coach Christophe Galtier: “We felt something change, of course. He identified the style of play of our team, there is something that has changed. But it’s only the beginning, we have a lot of work to do, there are a lot of things to work on, there have only been three matches. The season is long.“And the president firmly denied any problem between Neymar and Mbappé after the penalty against Montpellier:”No, no, there is no problem! The media say that. I can argue with my brother, my sister, it’s normal… They are good friends, very good teammates and they will always be good teammates.»
