Paris Saint-Germain coach, Luis Enrique, spoke to the media at the Allianz Arena before the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, noting that the first leg ended with the Parisian team winning (5-4).

The coach said: 'Do you expect an open game? It doesn't matter much what I expect, I think it will be a high-level match between two of the best teams in Europe, with a great desire to reach the Champions League final, which is an exciting scenario for both teams.'

Regarding whether he suffers more or enjoys such matches: 'Enjoying as a coach at the highest level is difficult, what we strive for is to mentally prepare our team for important matters, both teams will give their all.'

On PSG's readiness to handle the pressure, he said: 'It's easier said than done, last year we showed our ability to handle tough moments, tomorrow we will play to be more competitive than ever because we need it. When I see this type of match, I remember a phrase by Rafael Nadal, where he said that the rivalry between Federer and Djokovic was a motivation for him, and I tell my players that we admire Bayern because they play great football, but that serves as motivation for us to reach our best levels, and tomorrow we will see an amazing atmosphere.'

On playing in Munich, where he previously won the Champions League: 'Firstly, we don't need additional motivation, we are in the best readiness, returning to Munich is always enjoyable because it reminds us of what we achieved last year, and if you go back further, when I won the Champions League with Barcelona, we also played here in the semi-final second leg, we won and then we won the final, and this gives us extra motivation.'

He continued about the emotional state after the first leg, saying: 'When you play such matches against a competitor that is undoubtedly the toughest we've faced, and the result is surprising to everyone, the first thing I say is that we won the match and have a slight advantage, but it means nothing in football, because the first leg saw moments for both teams, controlling emotions is important, which is easier said than done, and having about 4000 PSG fans gives us extra motivation.'

Regarding the possibility of playing cautiously, he said: 'What we say as coaches is that there is a difference between the first and second leg, it usually changes depending on the result or the differences between the teams, but I can't say that tomorrow's match will be different from the first leg, no team is better than the other.'

On the possibility of changing anything compared to the first leg: 'Obviously, we are always seeking to improve, if we compare the results between Kompany and Luis Enrique, there is only one match that saw a large number of goals, while the rest of the results were normal, different situations may occur tomorrow, the team trailing in the score will need to change the course of the match and seek victory, as a team we have the same goal in all our away matches, I repeat that, this is our mentality, we want to win, we don't need to defend any result but seek victory, it's a challenge, but we are happy with our away performance this season.'

On PSG's chances of winning, he said: 'I always say the same thing, we will try to win the match, achieving that depends on many conditions within the match, no player or fan will stop fighting or cheering, we have reached this stage thanks to great work, and now it's time to do more to reach the final, we must be true to our identity as a team.'

Regarding managing weaknesses, he concluded: 'What both teams have shown is the ability to handle tough moments, the match started with a goal from Harry Kane then we scored, and then they equalized, and everyone was worried after the 5-4 result, but why worry? Both teams have shown the mentality they possess, one should enjoy this type of match, and we can improve our performance.'
