Reaching a Champions League final is one of the pinnacle achievements in any season. For me, playing in a final marks my third during my 13 years here in Paris, which truly highlights the immense difficulty involved. It’s an exciting conclusion to the season. Even with today’s loss, we will identify aspects we can enhance. I’m certain our coach will be pushing us rigorously over these next two weeks to ensure we significantly improve for this crucial Champions League final.“
