What Enrique said
Speaking in the pre-match press conference, Enrique praised Liverpool's qualities, especially their attacking quality and effectiveness in offensive transitions.
Hence, he believes the key to beating the Merseysiders is to keep the bulk of possession and limit Liverpool's chances of catching them in transition.

“It is one of the best matches that we can see in Europe,” said Luis Enrique, per GFFN. “They are one of the best teams in Europe on the counterattack.
“We will try and keep the ball and not suffer too much in transition. Stopping their three fighter jets isn’t easy. If we manage to impose our style of play, we will not suffer too much.
“The goal is to be better and ensure that they don’t harm us in transition. We have to have the ball, create more chances and defend efficiently, the same as in all of our other matches.”
The Parisiens host the first leg at Parc des Princes on Wednesday and Anfield will host the second-leg in a week's time.
