Paris Saint-Germain's coach, Luis Enrique, stated the team has navigated a more demanding schedule than any other in this season's Champions League, forging crucial resilience.
PSG secured their spot in the last 16 after a hard-fought playoff victory against Monaco, advancing 5-4 on aggregate despite a 2-2 draw in the second leg. Enrique expressed dissatisfaction with the team's first-half performance, acknowledging periods of imprecision. However, he highlighted the second half as a period of control, culminating in the necessary goals.
"To win the Champions League, you need competition, and we're experts at that level," Enrique commented. He noted that PSG's group stage opponents included strong teams like Barcelona and Bayern Munich, underscoring the difficulty of their path.
PSG now awaits the draw for the next round, where they could face Barcelona or Chelsea. Enrique remains confident, asserting, "If there's one team ready, it's ours."
