THE FUSE

Speaking to Spanish daily AS, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Ruiz insisted that the dressing room will not rest on their summer laurels. Relaying Luis de la Fuente's message and the challenge of sustaining elite standards, the 30-year-old said: "The manager has already told us that the past is forgotten; it's history, and that's wonderful, but now it's time to focus on the present. The hardest thing in football is winning again. Winning once is great, but doing it again is the difficult part."
