Munich evokes "great memories" for Luis Enrique and reigning champions PSG
Munich evokes "great memories" for Luis Enrique and reigning champions PSG Coming back to the place where they won their first Champions League crown last season, PSG need no encouragement for taking on Bayern Munich today, said Luis Enrique. “We don't need any extra motivation, we're already at 100%. It brings back great memories when we go back to Munich; it will always be a real pleasure," he said at his press conference.
“We can remember last year, and if I go back even further, when I was the Barcelona coach, the year of our CL win, we played against Bayern in the semi-final, with the second leg in Munich. We went on to win the final. “As a team, we have the same objective away from home as we do at home.
We don't need to defend the result because the objective is to win,” he said. Regarding the pressure of the semi-final in Munich with only a goal between them, the PSG coach drew inspiration from compatriot and professional tennis star Rafael Nadal. “Both teams throughout the season, and in our case over the last two seasons, have shown their ability to handle difficult moments.
We need to be more competitive than ever. "When I see these kinds of matches, I remember Rafael Nadal saying that facing Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer was a motivation for him. “He saw the potential to improve.
We'll try to overcome the atmosphere [at the Allianz Arena] and a team that plays sensational football,” Enrique explained.
