Present at a press conference after the exceptional PSG qualification against Liverpool, Tuesday evening on the side of Anfield, Luis Enrique spoke about the continuation of the competition while his team is now qualified for the quarter -finals. “I remind you that last year, we did this too in Barcelona. This year, given the first leg, we had this obligation to win. Last year, we lost in the semi-finals with six shots on the posts (against Dortmund, 0-1, 0-1). We are a quarter of finalists now, but it is not a competition that takes precedence over regularity, otherwise we would be among the best placed to win, because we are very stable. But this type of match makes the team grow ”.
Relaunched on the club's objectives, the Spanish technician has also admitted that this qualification could allow his players to consider great things at the end of the season. “It is obvious that it brings us something very positive. I really liked what I saw, even if we were dominated sometimes and that Liverpool would have deserved to score. Shots on goal is a lottery, but it's not a lottery. We saw it in the way players pulled the shots to the goal, with a lot of personality. We are in a good dynamic. All this confirms us in what we do. Anything that can happen positive around the team seems wonderful to me. We will not change our mentality, our intentions. Our goal is to be in a position to win this competition. We know how difficult it is to win it, but it is obvious that it strengthens us ”.
