On post-PSG...
“It’s done. Everything we did is done. Take our experiences together here, try to analyse to continue improving things, but thinking the next matches, the match tomorrow.
“Everything we are doing, of course, we are enjoying, we are trying to share with our supporters, we are trying as well to get our performances for everything, but now, Premier League, tomorrow's match.
“The most important for me now, is how they are, the players. We are going to train this afternoon. We are going to try to test the players, how they are for tomorrow.
“Tomorrow’s match is our objective, and the level they (Newcastle) have is similar level as PSG’s team.”
On facing Newcastle and Man City back to back...
“The first step (is) tomorrow. The first three points we will face against favourites to be in the top five, because they are now really performing very well, they are winning a lot of matches in a row, getting a lot of points.
“They are now in their best moment. They are performing very well, they are winning matches, they are feeling confident, they are feeling so strong.
“They have five points more than us. It means a lot, how we are, how they are, how important is the match tomorrow.
“Still 18 points to play (for) in (the) Premier League, and they have five points in advantage.”
