Nantes Coach Claudio Ranieri “always hopes an Italian club will win the Champions League, or Paris Saint-Germain,” then jokes about “parking two buses.”
The former Leicester City tactician is preparing for the Ligue 1 encounter with leaders PSG.
“I always hope an Italian club like Juventus, Napoli or Roma will win the Champions League, but failing that, I’d cheer on PSG, as it’d be a boost to French football, which at the moment I am a part of,” said Ranieri in his Press conference.

How do Nantes intend to keep the likes of Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, Edinson Cavani, Marco Verratti and Dani Alves quiet?
“If I could, I’d play with 22 players and park two buses in front of goal. Or I could just play with five in defence like Montpellier, who held PSG to a 0-0 draw!
“Joking aside, I want my team to be calm and determined. I know that we could lose this game, but must try to fight it out with the qualities we’ve shown so far this season.”
