Enrique Urges Calm As PSG Aim To Seize Champions League Semifinal’s Moment

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique sought to take the pressure off his side going into Tuesday’s Champions League semifinal second leg against Borussia Dortmund, telling them not to worry about having to win by two goals to reach the final.

PSG must overturn a 1-0 deficit from last week’s first leg after a Niclas Fuellkrug goal gave Dortmund a narrow victory in Germany.

“The objective is not to play to win by two goals, it is just to win. You can’t afford to think about having to win by two goals,” Luis Enrique told reporters on Monday, weighing up the possibility of the tie being decided in extra time and even penalties.

“We need to score one first of all, and win the match.”

PSG are looking to repeat their heroics in the quarterfinals, when they lost 3-2 at home to Barcelona in the first leg but qualified with a 4-1 win in the return – despite conceding the opening goal in Spain.

“It doesn’t matter if we concede – it happened against Barcelona – we’ll just need to stay calm,” the Spaniard added.

He also said the key to getting top scorer Kylian Mbappe more involved in the game was not necessarily to make him drop deeper to get on the ball.

Mbappe has scored 43 goals for PSG this season, including two in the second leg against Real Sociedad in the last 16, and two more away in Barcelona, but struggled to make a major impact in Dortmund last week.

“Our objective is that our best players participate. The more they take part in the game the better it is,” he said.

“But I want my strikers to be touching the ball in the areas where they can make a difference. I want him to get on the ball where he can be dangerous.”

Dortmund warmed up for the second leg by beating Augsburg 5-1 in the Bundesliga with a starting lineup that showed 10 changes from that which faced PSG a few days earlier.

PSG, in contrast, enjoyed a weekend off, with the French league postponing their game away at Nice until 15 May in order to aid their preparations.

“Obviously in life there is not only work. You need to also do things outside of work to be better at your job,” Luis Enrique said.

PSG are aiming to reach their second Champions League final, after they lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in Lisbon in 2020.

They have never won the trophy, but Luis Enrique said he was prepared for the possibility of a disappointing defeat.
