It was a joyful coach who rushed onto the Anfield pitch after Désiré Doué’s penalty, so confidently scored. It was only the round of 16, but PSG had achieved the feat of knocking Liverpool out of the Champions League.
Liverpool at Anfield, Liverpool first in the league phase, Liverpool undisputed leaders of the Premier League. But Liverpool were frustrated by a PSG that was not only a player, but also incredibly solid in defense.
Luis Enrique gave his first words on Canal Plus. “I don’t know what to say, honestly. I’m very happy because we showed that we’re a real team. It’s something we said a long time ago, but today, with our supporters, it was a very good match. We’re proud of this great team,” he said, in French.
Luis Enrique delighted
He loved what he saw from his team this Tuesday evening at Anfield. “I think it’s our mentality to be better. Today was a very difficult match because they’re a very good team. It was difficult to keep the ball. With our mentality, our personality, and especially Gigio, we were able to win the match. We have to think about recovering,” he said, emphasizing the extent to which this achievement is truly remarkable. “I think so, they finished the group stage as the top team. They’re a very good team, and today we showed that we love playing football regardless of the stadium or the atmosphere. It’s wonderful to have this team. Today is a match for all our fans,” he concluded.
Yes, PSG showed character, but they also showed that they were capable of suffering to unprecedented levels, being forced to close in on their own goal by the Reds for almost the entire second half. To also play more directly at times. And finally, to have a smiling coach when he came to the microphone! Definitely a great evening.
