Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said on Monday his players were strong enough to turn around the Champions League clash against Barcelona and reach the semi-finals.
“PSG have never come back to win after losing a first leg, but tomorrow is the day,” said Luis Enrique told reporters.“It’s tricky to get back your mental state, but the good thing about football is you have another game against the same opponent.Barcelona, with Luis Enrique at the helm, famously thrashed PSG 6-1 in 2017 in the last 16 to overturn a 4-0 first leg defeat.
Star forward Kylian Mbappe struggled to make much impact against Barca in the first leg and Luis Enrique has been criticised over his handling of the France captain. However the Spanish coach said everyone in the squad was pulling in the same direction as the Parisians continue their hunt for a first Champions League trophy.“I am happy with what the players are doing on the pitch, I have no complaints about any player in my squad.”“We want to forget about what happened and come here to win,” said the Morocco defender.
