Luis Enrique, the Paris Saint-Germain coach, spoke to TNT Sports after PSG’s 2-0 victory over Liverpool on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their 2025-2026 Champions League quarter-final (second leg on April 14).
Luis Enrique: “We have to accept it.”
Are you happy with the score or frustrated that you didn’t finish off the tie?
It’s a shame, we deserved to score a bit more, we created clear chances. But that’s football, it’s normal and we have to accept it. We want to recover well and focus on the match at Anfield.
Surprised by Liverpool?
No, I know he’s a great coach. It’s their first time playing with five defenders, but we’re used to seeing other teams change their tactics to play against us. It’s normal. They have great players, it was a great match. It’s a pleasure to play against Arne Slot, with a team that wants to play.
Luis Enrique: “We’ll prepare in the same way, but we expect to suffer.”
Is Kvaratskhelia brilliant?
We have the desire to play football like this. The connection with the fans, the atmosphere, and the attitude are exceptional.
Are you expecting a different match at Anfield?
Of course! We’ll prepare in the same way, but we expect to suffer. It’s a special stadium. We can’t wait to be there.
Is having a rest for Paris this weekend an advantage?
Two days off to enjoy!
