This is why our group is called the group of death, because there are four strong teams that have the strength to qualify."

For the two games against Milan, Enrique emphasized that each game is crucial, because it determines the situation the team faces in the final two rounds. He insists that at this stage he only focuses on each game in front of him.

Talking about the competition for key positions, Enrique said that the team has fierce competition in every position, which is very important for the development of the team.

If Milan changes tactics, then Paris will also make adjustments. If the tactics remain unchanged, Paris will go all out as they have in the past.

Finally, speaking of Maignan, Enrique hopes that his forwards can fully understand the advantages when facing Milan's defense. He said that people are aware of the excellent performance of Navas and Donnarumma, and players will feel pressure when facing them because they know that it is not easy to score goals. But he also reminded the team that players from the same country may not give them a better chance to score. Everything depends on the player's performance.
