Ferran Torres, named man of the match, expressed his delight with his debut hat-trick. "You never expect to score a hat-trick. We had to have the right intensity, the right pressing when losing the ball, and we did it well. We recovered a lot of balls in their half, we had a good game. I am happy, I have very good feelings, it's easy to play with these kinds of players, I try to enjoy myself, to be happy on and off the field," he said.

Ousmane Dembélé, looking ahead, expressed his desire to build on this performance. "We had to restart physically because we had the World Cup and not much vacation. I feel better and better. I hope to have more minutes to be able to find rhythm against Brest, in other matches, and also to go with the national team to be able to get minutes, win matches, score goals, make assists... That's all I love in football," he stated, with an eye on their upcoming Ligue 1 fixture against Brest.
