Luis Enrique, the Paris Saint-Germain coach, aimed to alleviate the pressure on his team before their Champions League semi-final second leg against Borussia Dortmund. He stressed the importance of focusing on winning rather than worrying about the margin.
PSG needs to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg, but Enrique emphasized the priority of scoring one goal and then securing the victory.
Referencing their quarter-final against Barcelona, where they lost the first leg but advanced after winning the second leg, Enrique emphasized the need for composure even if they concede. He expressed the desire for PSG’s top scorer, Kylian Mbappe, to be involved.
Dortmund had a convincing Bundesliga win over Augsburg, while PSG enjoyed a weekend off due to a postponed league game. Enrique highlighted the importance of maintaining a balance between work and leisure, expressing his love for sports and recreational activities. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play in a Champions League semi-final.
