Luis Enrique appeared before the press ahead of Paris Saint-Germain’s crucial Champions League fixture against Newcastle United at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday evening (kick-off 21:00 local time). The former Barcelona manager evoked the mental test that his players will be up against, having lost the reverse fixture in emphatic fashion at St James’ Park (4-1). The following was transcribed live by Get French Football News.
‘We know we have to be ready’
“The competition could be very short for us, with only a few games left in a very complicated group and a very tight table,” began Enrique about the test against The Magpies. “Their physical data is always at this level, they’re always very strong physically and they put pressure on the opposition. We know we have to be ready.”
“Tomorrow’s match could be decisive. I’m convinced that my team is ready to play tomorrow and be competitive,” said the Spaniard, cognisant of the fact that Les Parisiens could qualify tomorrow evening if they beat Newcastle and Milan don’t win at Borussia Dortmund.
