I don't know what PSG are missing to win the Champions League; it's not a question for me. You have to talk to the people who make the team, who organise the squad, who build this club. I just try to do my job as well as possible.
I was the best player, top scorer for the fifth year in a row in Ligue 1. Sometimes in football you face what is called a glass ceiling. That's why it's not a big question for me; it's for those at the top.
