Amiens SC 2 – 2 Paris Saint-Germain
Christophe Pélissier (Amiens coach): “They have astounded us again. This was to some extent the confirmation of how our season has gone. Every time the level goes up a notch, they find a way of responding to it. Even against Paris, we didn’t renounce our game plan. We are living through super moments. This was a great evening, and it has been a great season! My staff and I are proud to have put together a team from this group of players. We are almost disappointed that it is ending in two weeks.”
Unai Emery (Paris Saint-Germain coach): “Tonight the team did good things 90 percent of the time. We controlled the game well, had possession of the ball and created chances. Amiens took their chances when they came and scored two goals. We could have done better, but Amiens had a response. The Coupe de France is a great source of motivation for us now. We respect our opponents, who deserved their place in the final. We will prepare well. The players have the desire and motivation to go and win another title.”
