Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique believes his side have improved since their league phase defeat to Arsenal in October. PSG
were beaten 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium but managed to secure a place in the play-offs to face the Gunners in the semi-finals.
“It happened seven or eight months ago. I look back and now we are a much better team,” Enrique told reporters ahead of the first leg at the Emirates. Asked about the defeat, Enrique was speaking to reporters before the first leg at the Emirates.
“We showed throughout the competition that we had a very intense league phase, with many matches that could have been the Champions League final. “
At first I thought it was a risk, but in the end it is good to have that kind of schedule because it helps us improve. “
We have become a more complete team and now we want to make history. “
“The Champions League is a difficult target. หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ That doesn’t mean we are under pressure. We are determined. “
“PSG have never won the Champions League? Arsenal have never won it, we know that. But we shouldn’t let it get in the way of performing at our best.”
Aside from the lack of European success, Enrique sees similarities with his rivals: “Arsenal are built on the strength of the team, they do everything together, both in attack and defence.
“Of course Arsenal have top players but, like us, they don’t rely on one person. They’ve had injuries all season but they’ve still performed at the highest level.”
