Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique recalls how Borussia Dortmund ruined his birthday in last year’s Champions League semi-final and his hopes Arsenal do not do the same again in Paris this year!

TIMESTAMPS
no special methods – about living through a special moment just as we did so far – we are here as we deserved it and now we have to win the second leg

Arteta assessment? i knew him as a young player in Barcelona and he has a great character and personality- great player and now a great coach who has improved his team a lot

feel a better team than last year v Dortmund? it’s normal to him building a team the first year not perf t and second you grow

complicate but we will repeat what we did in first leg and we have really good players

Dembele start? he has trained for 2 days and is available

people in Paris like team but not rest of the country and you are humble satisfied? cycling just 9k here so no big deal and i want to entertain supporters

Dembele qualities? he has a great football brain and learned from many clubs such as Barcelona

Inter or Barca? i’m sweating thinking about it but i am here for us and we will see what happens. My feelings for Barca will never go away?

key to second leg? i’ve no idea but we have to show confidence and effort as will be an equal game

at Barca it works like magic? role of coach has an impact but l if have a very good level of players it helps and i never change how i manage

transitions important? first leg result will change how they play

how motivate and take away pressure? it’s simple as follow daily routine and what we can do better from first game
and now enjoy it

happy birthday for Thursday – thank you – i’m old enough to it to think about bdays and was sale moment last year v Dortmund and this time have an opportunity to have a great day – will accept whatever happens

all come together this season by beating City? that was special but i felt confident about my players from the start of the season

Kvaratskhelia qualities? we wanted to sign him before and rare to have that experience so young and normal takes time to adapt and now one of the players who plays every match

  1. Luis Enrique ahead of Arsenal semi final: "My love and affection for FC Barcelona will never fade away. I have a past that I am proud of." 😳❤

  2. Enrique doesnt need the whole of Paris against Arsenal…. just Arteta and his inexperience and his, incompetence …….. VIVA PARIS, ARTETA OUT!!

  3. Arsenal plays high-quality football, but PSG is a perfect team. And the way they are in sync, fast, and tactically sharp is scary. PSG doesn't get enough spotlight or credit for how they currently play.

  4. A lot of people, not only in the comment section but all over the nets are talking as if the game done and only going to be a formality, yes Arsenal got caught cold and did panic a bit.

    However, if you analyse the game properly, you'd say yes, PSG showed a lot of positive and good things, even the goal they've scored, Dembele actually miss hit the ball and it went in.

    The next question will be the following: will Arsenal be as bad as they were? can PSG play any better than how they did in the first leg?

    I look forward to this game even more than the 1st.

  5. Arsenal will be eliminated from the Champions League semifinal if they lose to PSG in the second leg of the semifinal tomorrow night in Paris, regardless of whether Mikel Arteta will be sacked following the match.

  6. Every odds will be for PSG in home, noneless pressure for arsenal, but i hope arsenal play with confidence and free nothing to lose, just push to the limit
