Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has urged his team to remain fully alert ahead of their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Liverpool, warning that the tie is far from over despite their two-goal advantage. PSG travel to Anfield holding a 2-0 lead from the first leg in Paris, but the Spanish coach insists his players must avoid complacency in what he expects to be a fiercely competitive encounter.
Enrique stressed that football can change quickly and warned his squad not to be misled by the first-leg performance, where PSG dominated but still face a dangerous return fixture. He highlighted Liverpool’s ability to respond in high-pressure European matches and cautioned that even a single early goal for the hosts could completely shift the momentum of the tie.
Rather than adopting a defensive approach, the PSG coach made it clear that his team will continue to play their natural attacking style. He said the objective remains to compete for victory at Anfield, while acknowledging that difficulties are expected due to both Liverpool’s quality and the intensity of the occasion.
The PSG manager also pointed to the challenge of playing in front of the Anfield crowd, describing it as one of the most intimidating environments in European football. However, he added that such atmospheres should serve as motivation rather than pressure, encouraging his squad to embrace the occasion and stick to their identity.
With a place in the semi-finals at stake, Enrique believes the tie will remain tightly contested until the final whistle, insisting that focus, discipline and attention to detail will be decisive in determining who progresses.
