“I think the only thing we are waiting for is a victory against Juventus,” Simon said on Europa League’s website.
“But we all know that in football you never know. Juventus is a great club, they have a great team. But we just have to wait for D-Day and the best will win.
“We know of course that many people will say that Nantes remains Nantes, that it is a small club.
“However, I think in this family, in this group, we have a good mindset, even when we lose, we try to never give up. So I think we will look no matter what to qualify.
