Spanish coach Luis Enrique, the manager of Paris Saint-Germain, spoke about the readiness of player Vitinha before facing Bayern Munich tomorrow, Tuesday, in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final at the Parc des Princes, confirming the readiness of most of the team members.

Enrique said: "Everyone is ready, there is no room for doubt, all the players are ready, even Quentin Ndjanto is almost ready, he wants to play and needs some preparation, but he is almost ready. We must seize the opportunities because we do not know when we will have the chance to play similar matches in the future. All the players are excited to play this semi-final match, and we will see which team is better."

The Spanish coach added that the defensive aspect will be a decisive factor in the confrontation, despite the great offensive strength of both teams.

He continued: "Although both teams attack strongly, good defense is the key. We must attack and defend skillfully. It is an attractive match for everyone and for the two teams who are having a great season."

Regarding his assessment of the strength of the two teams and whether they are the best in Europe currently, Enrique explained that statistics are not limited to offense only but include defense as well, pointing out the strength of the opponent.

Enrique added: "It is not just about offensive statistics, but it includes defense as well. Arsenal has performed excellently, in terms of consistency, Bayern is slightly ahead of us, as they have only lost two matches, but based on what we offer as a team, there is no team better than us."

Concerning the role of the full-backs in facing Bayern Munich's strength on the flanks, Enrique emphasized the importance of balance between defense and attack.

Enrique said: "What do you think? Do you think we won the Champions League with Mendes and Hakimi in defense only? Of course, they must defend, but to win, we must attack as much as possible. We will not rely on calculations; we want to win both the first and second leg matches."

The Spanish coach also praised several Bayern Munich players and their coach, affirming his full respect for the opponent.

Enrique added: "I love all Bayern players, not just Olise, each of them is top-class. As a team, they have shown their quality. Kompany is a top-class coach and has proven that in England as well. You can see that in Bayern through the difficulty of playing against them. They are a team I love to watch, a team that attacks and scores goals, and I love all coaches, especially attacking coaches, and Vincent Kompany is one of them."

Regarding the standout Bayern Munich players, Enrique said the strength lies in the entire group.

Enrique concluded: "Kimmich, Luis Diaz, Harry Kane, Laimer, Michael Olise, Stanisic, everyone, if you handle these matches individually, you are making a mistake. They have great players, but the team is the key. Both teams are clear examples of that. What the fans show is the confidence the team gives them, and this is positive, but as a professional, there is no favorite team for me. It was the same against Chelsea and Liverpool, when you reach this type of match, the small details are extremely important. We must be ready, and whatever the circumstances, we deserve to be here, and we are confident, but we know how difficult it is to play against Bayern Munich."
