After a 1-0 demoralizing defeat against Liverpool in the first leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League at home, PSG returned to victory by crushing Rennes 4-1 in Ligue 1 thanks to a double of Ousmane Dembélé and the goals of Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos. Against the Reds, the French champions were the most dominant, but the formidable Alisson goalkeeper and the incredible luck of the Merseyside club prevented them from winning a victory in the Parc des Princes.
Luis Enrique, the Ile -de -France coach, is now ready to reverse the situation in the Champions League because he launched a warning to the Arne Slot team. At the post-match press conference, the Spanish coach said: “We are in the best possible conditions to challenge Liverpool, we have nothing to lose and we will give everything to qualify. After the defeat against Liverpool (1-0, Wednesday), we were sad but we got up, we found morale. We made a good match against Rennes, which played as well, especially at the start of the second period. »»
Enrique confident
The PSG coach added: ” It was difficult but we played seriously and it allows us to have a lot of hope for Liverpool. With the staff, we must assess the conditions, we trust the players, their feelings, it is up to us to manage the load and the distribution of the minutes so that it is as balanced as possible. I lied to you, of course we thought of Liverpool, as we do since the draw. »»
