Thomas Frank talks to TNT Sports, and is first asked to wax lyrical over the new Tottenham captain Cristian Romero. “He is a leader … a very experienced player … we are going into a final, and he has been in a few finals, and been very successful … he knows what it is about … on and off the pitch he will lead the team … we are facing a very good team but we are confident in ourselves … it is one game and we see an opportunity … we want to be brave, aggressive and go forward … there needs to be a foundation … solidness … togetherness … very difficult to beat … that’s the minimum criteria and then we go from that … I just showed a picture to the players, that they are winners … they proved it three months ago … they won a very important trophy … of course they can do it today … go out and enjoy it.”
There are three changes to the PSG side that started the Champions League final. Gianluigi Donnarumma is halfway through the out door, and is replaced in goal by Lucas Chevalier, the new signing from Lille. Meanwhile Warren Zaïre-Emery and Bradley Barcola come in for João Neves and Fabián Ruiz, with only the latter on the bench tonight.
