Jade, Paris are about to launch their Champions League challenge. What does this competition mean to? 'This competition is great for everyone. When I was younger, I watched the men's team's games, and there was a tremendous atmosphere every time. It's a top-level competition, with a lot of intensity in every game. The Champions League makes you dream, and I'm playing in it now and so the aim is to win it.'

Which memory stands out when you talk about the Champions League?'Every match leaves its mark, but last season's play-off against Manchester United was special. We drew 1-1 there and had to win at the Parc des Princes to progress. We were confident because we were at home, and you saw that because we won 3-1. We enjoyed that afterwards.'

How's the squad feeling ahead of the game?

'We talk a lot among ourselves, but each of us knows the goals and steps to take to be able to progress and continue in this competition. We're going to play Juventus, a great team, and it'll be a very good game. It's perfect to be able to get right into the competition.'

It's going to be a keenly contested match…'When you play in the Champions League, we know we're going to play high-intensity games against great players. Juventus have a great history, a club that knows the Champions League well, so they're a major opponent with which to start the competition.'

And of course there's the second leg at home…

'It's good to be able to play the return leg at home. We know the Campus well. It's our working environment. We train there every day, and we know that for Champions League games, our fans are always there for us. They're going to encourage us a lot. It'll be a great atmosphere and we'll give everything to win this match.'

The game will be broadcast live on PSG TV Premium

on Wednesday 18 September from 7pm CEST
