“This will be a game for the first and second places,” he told Arsenal Player. “In Paris, we got a point and we saw that PSG are a top team with lots of quality.
“We now want to show them that we are playing at home and that we are a force at home. We want to keep first place.
“It has to be our goal to finish top of the group. Then we would play against the second team from another group which would also be important, so I hope we will finish top.
“It would be important for the fans, for the club, for us players,” he added. “In the last few years, the team made it until the round of 16.
