PSG boss Luis Enrique discussed their chances of beating Liverpool in their UCL round-of-16 clash.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique analysed their upcoming Champions League clash against Liverpool, stating what his team needed to do to beat arguably the best team in Europe. 

The Reds finished the league phase of the UCL and are currently runaway leaders in the English top flight. Hence, they are favourites in the upcoming fixture, but Enrique is confident in his team's chances.

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.
