“Cavani is a very good player. He is another famous striker. Paris have a lot of exceptional players. Laurent Blanc can switch players when he wants. They have a wonderful range of substitutes.

“Every game is an opportunity for the team to progress. We know that we have not played together for as long as they have. The Paris players already know each other. We see this game as a chance to improve ourselves.
