Luis Enrique praised Paris Saint-Germain’s composure and mentality following their commanding victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
In a high-stakes European clash, PSG delivered a clinical 2-0 win on the night, sealing a dominant aggregate triumph and booking their place in the semi-finals.
From kickoff to final whistle, the French champions showed tactical discipline and resilience, particularly in a challenging away atmosphere.
“It was a great victory,” said Enrique after the game highlighting his team’s control in the opening phase, stressing how their approach set the tone for the result.
“I think we deserved to qualify over the two legs. I’m particularly pleased with what we did in the first half.
“We tried to control the game by playing in the opponent’s half, and for me, that was our best period of the match.”
As the contest progressed, PSG had to adapt under pressure, with Liverpool pushing forward in search of a breakthrough.
However, Enrique acknowledged the difficulty of maintaining balance while managing risk in the second half.
“In the second half, it was very difficult because we took a lot of risks and it was tough.
“We tried to play on the counterattack, and after the first and second goals, we were able to play with more control in the final minutes.”
Beyond tactics and execution, Enrique reserved special praise for his players’ mentality, emphasizing their ability to perform on a big stage.
“What makes me most proud of this team is the mentality, which we showed to all the fans in this legendary stadium.
“When we see the support from our fans, it’s incredible.
“We’re very happy for them, and now we wait to see who we will play in the semi-finals.”
With momentum firmly on their side, PSG now shift focus to the next round, carrying confidence and belief as they edge closer to European glory.
