Marquinhos Seeks More Glory
PSG captain Marquinhos expressed his hunger for continued success. He stated, "It's really important to have that motivation. Last year, we said this, we showed it on the pitch. This year, it's what we've been doing. Give it all on the pitch. Once you've tasted the title, tasted that moment, you want it again and again and again. What it was like in the dressing room afterwards. We want to live that again. We are hungry, we are motivated."
Odegaard Aims for History
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, who recently led the club to their first Premier League title in 22 years, is eager to make more history. He said, "For sure, it's something special that we can achieve what has not been done before. As you say, it was 22 years since we last won the Premier League and now finally we did it. So we want to make even more history, and when you get the taste of winning and lifting a trophy, you know how nice it feels, so obviously we want to do it again. And yes, it would mean a lot to every one of our supporters. We're ready to do it and looking forward to the game."
