Without Paris, everyone is a favorite

Jorge Sampaoli, Marseille coach, spoke ahead of Wednesday's match, noting that after the elimination of PSG, everyone is a favorite and that not only Nice will be looking for the cup, but also Monaco. 

"Everyone is a favorite when Paris is eliminated. We will do everything we can to keep dreaming. But Nice and Monaco also want to win the cup. I would have liked to see our supporters in Nice. It's unfair. We excluded some to include others. If OM supporters are not there, it's because they are considered suspicious. We all have to be there to satisfy the club and the city. We have to represent the club as well as we can.

No doubts

Marseille striker Arkadiusz Milik mentioned that not playing and being on the bench have been difficult for him because when he doesn't play he loses confidence, even so, he knows what he is capable of.

"Not playing and being on the bench is not easy. I focused on the things I could improve in training, I worked twice as hard. When the opportunity came, I was ready and it was important. I'm not happy when I'm not playing. Finally, I was happy after my performance. I know what I am capable of and I know how to play soccer. I didn't doubt it, but when you don't play, you lose confidence. I tried to train more to regain confidence. Goals are what help you the most to regain confidence. I have always believed in myself.
