In the margins of Tuesday’s press conference to discuss tomorrow’s Champions League 2024-2025 Round 4 match against Atlético de Madrid at the Parc des Princes (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on Canal+ in France), Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique was interviewed by PSG TV. He spoke about his match against Diego Simeone and the importance of the fans.
Luis Enrique: “They’re well known in Europe”.
You know Diego Simeone well, is it special to prepare for this kind of match?
All matches are difficult. I mean, Atletico Madrid are one of the best teams in the world, so it’s clear that they’re going to be a tough nut to crack. They’re well known in Europe.
They have a coach with a long track record at the highest level. He’s been at Atletico Madrid for many years, and he’s always shown himself to be at the highest level.
Luis Enrique “Our fans are always behind us”.
Will the fans be the key to the match?
That’s one of the things we can guarantee because our fans are always behind us. It’s important in this moment of the League and depending on the difficulty of the games, that they are with us and tomorrow it will be important not to be frustrated if things don’t go our way.
Because it’s impossible to always go the way we want, but we’re happy with what we’re capable of repeating, and in particular with what we’ve shown in the Champions League this season at the Parc des Princes.
