“It’s not going to be an easy match. PSG have a very good team with a superb coach. They play very good football; we’ve played them before. We know what to expect, and we’re going to do everything we can to win there in Paris, before we host them at home.”
The winner of this tie will advance to the final to face either Atlético Madrid or Arsenal, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion to this season’s Champions League campaign.
