PSG: “We have the most difficult group in the Champions League”, believes Luis Enrique

“I hope that will be the case. This is what we try to do as a team. The last result determines the mood for the next match. We need to change our mentality to return to Ligue 1. It's a difficult match away against an interesting opponent, with quality pressing. It’s a very complicated match to play. We will have to be very attentive from the start of the match.”

“I am satisfied with his performance. He is a player who has physical and technical qualities perfectly suited to our idea of ​​the game. He is a very interesting player. With us, he plays more in the center, sometimes he can play defensive midfielder or almost as a winger. It’s interesting that the player is versatile. He manages to score. Glad to have him in the squad. He’s one of the midfielders who has played the most.”

“Until the list of players who will be in the squad is out, I can’t say anything. He left the infirmary. He can return to the group. He needs to get back into physical shape. If he plays more on the right lane, he can come back inside and generate numerical superiority. If he plays on the left side, with his natural foot, he can overrun. If he is in the axis, he can add numerical superiority between the lines. It’s a different profile from other attackers.”

“I think it was the same circles who played at the Parc des Princes and at San Siro. When we won, no one mentioned the lack of experience. I am very happy with the squad. I don't think about their youth. I am very happy with their level.”

"I do not agree. We are a team that does not make speculations. We play to attack. It's my idea and I'm not going to change it. I don’t find this topic useful.”

“It’s more pleasant to play at home, with our audience. Sometimes we are more daring. The terrain remains the same outside. I don't see why my team should change because we're not playing in front of our home crowd. There wasn't a single away match where we weren't competitive. Afterwards, we can be more or less effective.”

“Obviously, we are not first in Ligue 1. We have to improve. And in the Champions League, we have the most difficult group. This is one of the only interesting ones. Until the last day of the group stage, we will have the possibility of finishing first, second, third and even fourth. It’s a group that looks like the eighth, quarter or semi-finals of the Champions League. We will continue on our path to qualify. I am convinced that we will succeed.”

“It is one of the best teams of 2023 in Ligue 1. It is well established, it has a clear idea. She is aggressive, she does good pressing. She knows how to use the ball. We will see what they have prepared and we will see how we can adapt. It will be a difficult match for us. We are not expecting an easy match. It will be very intense, very complicated. We have to be focused from the start so as not to be surprised.”
