This Wednesday evening in San Mamés against Athletic Bilbao, PSG plays the 6th day of the first phase of the Champions League. A victory would consolidate his place in the top 8 – he is currently 2nd at the start of the 18 meetings. On the eve of this meeting, PSG sent the only Spanish player on its squad, Fabian Ruiz, European champion 2024 with La Roja and 2025 with PSG, to a press conference.
Does PSG inspire fear?
FABIAN RUIZ. Tomorrow, it won’t be easy against a good team. At home, Bilbao are strong even if the results in the Champions League are not always good for them.
You reach the end of your contract in 2027. Do you want to extend?
Yes indeed, it ends in 2027. I am very happy to be at PSG. This is my fourth. The subject doesn’t concern me. What matters is tomorrow’s match (Wednesday).
How are you feeling right now ?
We are all in great shape. I had an adductor injury and a relapse. I got back into shape. I feel good. I hope to continue like this.
Is this the best environment in which you have evolved? ?
I had the great chance to share the locker room with the greatest players. It’s one of the great environments I’ve played in. We have great players in all lines. And we can play several positions, that’s one of the keys to success.
What is your opinion of Vitinha?
He is very good on and off the field. He is professional, calm, he helps his partners. That’s why he’s one of our captains. He is always ready to help the team.
What is the atmosphere like in San Mamés? ?
I played here with Real Betis. We had a draw. The atmosphere is spectacular in one of the most beautiful stadiums in Spain. We are aware of the great difficulty of the match at the start. They can hurt us very badly with excellent players.
Bilbao is betting everything on this meeting. Did you talk about it with the Athletic Internationals?
Yes, it’s a very important match for them. I play with three selection partners who play here. It will be difficult. The atmosphere is great here. They will be aggressive but we have the possibility of winning.
