PSG vs Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16: Luis Enrique gives his take

After the Champions League round of 16 draw, PSG have been paired with Chelsea this Friday. Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the upcoming clash.

Speaking at a press conference, Luis Enrique weighed in on what promises to be a blockbuster tie.

"Chelsea, it's a fascinating draw, as always. I'm very pleased. It'll be exciting to play against an English team, but there's no sense of revenge. These are different competitions. This draw defines our path, and we're used to it. We're the reigning champions. The pressure is on the other teams. We like being in the bracket—it shows we're qualified. Everyone knows we can win the Champions League, but to do that we need to improve. We're aware of that. We have to adapt to the current circumstances. What makes me optimistic is my team's ability to deal with all the challenges that come our way," said the Spaniard.

Despite a tough qualification against AS Monaco (3-2, 2-2) in the play-offs, the PSG coach has no doubts about his squad.
