After the match, Paris coach Luis Enrique spoke to Canal+. The Spaniard was understandably very satisfied, even if he is not forgetting the difficulties and the things that still need to be done.
Luis Enrique “This is the beginning, it’s our mentality to be better.”
What’s going on in the Paris dressing room?
A very good party. I really don’t know what to say. I’m very happy because we’ve shown that we’re a real team. It’s something we’ve known for a long time, but today with our supporters it was a very good match and we’re proud.
Are you far from where you want to be with this team?
No, it’s not at its best. It’s just the beginning, it’s our mentality to be better. Today was a very difficult match because they’re a very good team and we were impressed. It was very difficult to keep hold of the ball, but with our mentality and personality, and especially Gigio, we were able to win the match. Now we need to think about recovering and enjoying the party.
Luis Enrique “Today is our match and our victory for all the fans.”
Do you think it was a great achievement to eliminate Liverpool?
I think so, they finished first in the group phase. They’re a very good team and today we showed that we like to play soccer. Whatever the stadium and the atmosphere, it’s great to have this team. Today is our match and our victory for all the fans.
