00:00 get to experience it with the fans and everyone there.
00:02 I just wonder what your memories of that were and how much you're looking forward to it,
00:05 hopefully going on the run in the full stadium.
00:08 Yeah, very different.
00:10 We have experience playing finals without a crowd and playing a final with a crowd.
00:15 That's what makes it really special and a memorable day.
00:18 And now, hopefully tomorrow, we're going to experience a great day.
00:23 And for you, when you were a player, you had that moment where you were about to make your Champions League debut.
00:27 I just wondered what experiences and what lessons you took from that and what your message would be to those making that step tomorrow night?
00:33 It was in San Siro and I went from playing in second division and a week later I was playing with PSG in San Siro,
00:42 looking at Maldini, Costa Curta, Berlusconi and I was scared to be fair.
00:47 I was in that tunnel looking at them. They all looked immaculate and I was just a 17-year-old boy and said,
00:53 "I don't know if I'm ready for this."
00:54 Is there something you took from that that you'll pass on to those players tomorrow?
00:58 The lesson probably is that you feel like it's outside once you're on the pitch,
01:01 just do what you do every single day and treat it in a natural way and go for it like we always do.
01:08 Okay, thanks everyone.
01:10 Thank you.
