BORDEAUX, France, March 30 (Xinhua) -- Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain was well prepared for claiming the first title of the season in the French League Cup final here on Saturday to make a bit amendment for their frustrating Champions League elimination.

"I'm happy to see that the team reacted quite well after the Champions League elimination," commented PSG head coach Unai Emery at Friday's press conference. "Tomorrow is an important moment, and the team is ready. My players will have the same reaction on the pitch tomorrow."

"It's an obligation to win the title (of French League Cup). We want to win everything. It's not easy, but it's an objective of the club," said PSG midfielder Marco Verratti.

"They have many strikers in the team three or four years, so they are quite experienced. They have many good players like Bernardo Silva, (Kylian) Mbappe and (Benjamin) Mendy, who have left the club, but Monaco is still a big club. Tomorrow we will do our best to beat Monaco.

"All games are important, because we want to win everything. It's the final of French League Cup, and it's 90 minutes of fights that are really important. But we also have the semifinal and final at French Cup, I hope to win these Cups."

For Emery, during Brazilian star Neymar's absence, responsibilities are not just on one player, and every player should take his responsibility.

"All players will be concentrated for this match," he said.
