00:00Again, though, we talk about situations like that and there's a saying in English football
00:05that your name is on the cup when you have situations like that.
00:08Do you look at it like that and think that that mentality,
00:11that ability to get over the line when you haven't been your best performance of the season,
00:17how crucial is that when you're going for trophies on that front?
00:20If you want to win something, if it's the Premier League or the Champions League or the FA Cup,
00:27you need to have once in a while a game where you don't play your best football and you are lucky,
00:33which is maybe not lucky if you work as hard as we do, to get away with a result.
00:38There are almost no teams that play 38 games, or in the Champions League it's not as much,
00:44only good football. I think Real Madrid is one of the best examples of that.
00:48They also find a way to win a game if the other team is better than them,
00:53and that's what they did, but I'm not looking at all at the Paris Saint-Germain game anymore.
00:59Our full focus, my full focus, is now on Southampton,
01:03which is the first of three finals to be played in the upcoming week.
