„Paris Saint-Germain“ defender Marco Verratti believes that his team can overcome the resistance of London's „Chelsea“ in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, and says that the goal of the French champions is to become the strongest team in Europe.
The first clash between these teams in Paris ended in a 1-1 draw. Despite the better position of their opponents, Verratti does not promise to give up and remains optimistic.
„In recent years, we have been eliminated from the tournament with our heads held high, but our main goal in the Champions League is victory. That's why we are here,“ the Italian told RMC.
„Chelsea“ is probably stronger now than last year. The club has acquired several great players. For example, Cesc Fabregas.“
„However, such matches are exactly what we dream of. The pressure will be high, but we hope to advance further.“
Despite his big ambitions, Verratti understands that winning the Champions League may take more time, as it is a very difficult task. The defender noted that Madrid's „Real“ needed ten years to win their tenth trophy.
