PSG head coach Luis Enrique shared his expectations ahead of the Champions League match against «Bayern», which many call a battle between the two strongest clubs in Europe today.
Luis EnriqueHowever, the Spanish specialist urged not to rush to conclusions: «To understand who is the best, you need to wait for the end of the season and see who wins the most trophies. One thing is clear now — „Bayern“ is very strong, they have won the last 15 matches. We know how tough it will be, but we are ready to win.» Enrique expects the game to have the same intensity and principles as the Club World Cup in the summer, adding that such matches are «attractive and motivating» for both teams.
Despite the opponent’s impressive winning streak, the PSG coach is confident in his team’s abilities. «Their results are incredible. It’s hard for us to win three or four matches in a row, and 15... That’s exceptional. But, on the other hand, at „Parc des Princes“, with the atmosphere our fans create, we are confident we can handle this pressure,» Enrique stated. He also confirmed that Ousmane Dembélé is ready to play, although he did not specify how many minutes he will spend on the field. «No risk with any player, but Ousmane has been training for two weeks, he played in the last two matches, and he will be on the field tomorrow,» the coach assured.
Finally, Luis Enrique noted that this match is not the sole criterion for evaluating his team’s level, as PSG has already earned its self-confidence. «It’s important to win for the sake of three points. There won’t be a big difference, only small details will create it. „Bayern“ and PSG are two teams that keep their foot on the gas pedal, and the spectators will enjoy a good moment,» he concluded.
