“So everyone, from Dembélé to Kvaratskhelia, from Safonov to Chevalier, to Doué, including the young players who appeared in the last three years in the team, attended the dinner, even in the absence of their leader, the only absentee.
The players, however, celebrated their qualification and Lucho's birthday by staying at the table late, because Friday was a day of rest. Training resumes tomorrow, in view of the championship match against Brest”, writes the quoted source.
“Remember what happened after the group stage? You criticized us, but we're back in the final and we're going to face the best team, Arsenal. It's going to be a very high-level game. Unbelievable, it's the second time in a row that we'll be playing with the trophy on the table!
