This Tuesday, Enzo Maresca spoke at a press conference about Rayan Cherki ahead of the clash against PSG in the Champions League.

Ahead of facing PSG tomorrow, the Manchester City coach appeared at a press conference on Tuesday. The Italian is aware that his team will need to be at its best. “The message for tomorrow night is quite simple: We need a perfect match because they are the strongest team in Europe at the moment. They have won the last two Champions Leagues, which shows just how good they are! We need a perfect match, but at the same time, by giving our very best, I think we can beat them and be happy at the end!” he said.

Enzo Maresca is looking forward to playing this clash: “I’m excited for tomorrow night because I was here during the treble-winning season, and I know that Champions League nights are special, and I hope tomorrow night can be special too!” he said before being asked about the level of his team compared with that of his opponent.

We are very happy with him.”
