After losing the first leg 0-1, Paris Saint-Germain faced Liverpool in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 8 tie on Tuesday (0-1, 1-4 on penalties). On the sidelines of the match, Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique spoke to PSG TV about his side’s qualification.
Enrique “Today is a very intense night for them”
“What can I say? I’m very happy, very proud of the team, the players, the fans. It’s a very special moment for us and we’re very happy. We had the confidence to come to Anfield despite a very bad first-leg result. I think they did what they usually do by supporting the team. Today is a very intense night for them and I’m very happy to see them happy.”
A feat, a historic match and a qualification won in the end thanks to a heroic performance by Gianluigi Donnarumma. Although PSG had a very difficult second half, they managed to keep their heads and benefit from a touch of luck to stay in the game. But of the four halves, it has to be said that the Parisians dominated three.
In the end, Luis Enrique’s men deserved to qualify. But given the turn of events, we can only salute the collective performance and place this match among the club’s historic encounters. March 11 was definitely a success for the Parisians, who go into the quarter-finals full of confidence.
