Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique is feeling optimistic heading into the Champions League semifinal second leg against Borussia Dortmund. Despite a 1-0 deficit from the first leg, Enrique is not putting pressure on his team to win by two goals. He emphasized the importance of focusing on winning the match and scoring the first goal.
Enrique drew parallels to PSG’s comeback against Barcelona in the quarterfinals, stating that conceding a goal shouldn’t deter them from their objective. The coach also highlighted the need to get top scorer Kylian Mbappe more involved in the game without necessarily dropping deeper to receive the ball.
In preparation for the second leg, Dortmund showed their strength by beating Augsburg 5-1, while PSG had a weekend off with their French league game postponed. Enrique emphasized the importance of leisure time and preparation ahead of the crucial match.
Despite the possibility of a disappointing defeat, Enrique remains positive, acknowledging that life will go on and PSG will aim to bounce back and potentially reach the final in the future. The team is vying for their first-ever Champions League trophy, with the coach ready to face any outcome with pride and determination.
