Paris St Germain manager Luis Enrique stated on Monday that the team will approach their Champions League game against Newcastle United as if it were a final. The upcoming game in Paris is crucial for PSG, as all four teams in Group F still have a chance to progress.
Luis Enrique emphasized the importance of home advantage and the support of the fans at the Parc des Princes. He expressed the need for the stadium to be filled with passionate supporters to help carry the team to victory.
Reflecting on their previous 4-1 loss to Newcastle, Luis Enrique stressed the physical strength and intensity of the Premier League side, especially after their recent 4-1 win over Chelsea.
Despite PSG’s recent success in Ligue 1, winning their last six league games, Luis Enrique believes there is still room for improvement within the team. He acknowledged the progress they have made so far, but emphasized the need for further development.
With just three points separating the top and bottom teams in Group F, PSG has the opportunity to secure their progress with a win against Newcastle, provided AC Milan does not win against Borussia Dortmund.
Luis Enrique recognized the significance of the upcoming match, noting that it could potentially determine the fate of the entire group. He expressed confidence in his team’s readiness for the challenge.
Currently, PSG is in second place in Group F, with six points, trailing behind Dortmund by one point and leading Milan by one point. Meanwhile, Newcastle sits at four points in the group standings.
