Press conference transcript:

Q: On their chances to qualify

Kvaratskhelia: "I think the chances are 50-50, because to dominate against Liverpool is not easy. We did it, we played very well and showed great football. So for me, tomorrow the game will be 50-50. We just have to concentrate on our game and be confident to show them that we are here to win."

Q: On his adaptation at the club

Kvaratskhelia: " I feel great here, because my adaptation was good. They helped me so much, the team, the players, the coach and everybody in the team. Now I feel I can do more, that's why I'm working hard to show that I can do more and more everytime. I try to work hard, show them that I can do better and better everytime."

Q: On the importance of the game

Kvaratskhelia: " I think it will be the most important game tomorrow in our season because it is the Champions League. Our goal is to go as far as possible in the competition and play in the final. I think every game is important for us but it's Champions League and it's Liverpool and a place for the quarterfinal. We are 1-0 down so we know that tomorrow's game is the most important of the season."

Q: On the preparation of the game

Luis Enrique : " We kept the same preparation that we have usually that week. We had a little analysis of our game against Liverpool the following day. Then we prepared for Rennes and we will have training today, then we have game tomorrow. In terms of what sort of game it might be, our approach doesn't change. Regardless of the result, which could have been different, our way of preparing does not change. What is true is that, as it stands, we are getting knocked out. So we only have one option which is to go out and win, which is what we would have done even if we had won the first game."

Q: On the importance of the game

Luis Enrique : " No, I simply hope that the most important game of our season is yet to come. That is my mindset, I hope it is the last one of the season, but of course, at the end of tomorrow's game, one of the two teams will be eliminated. I hope it won't be Paris Saint-Germain. That is what we hope for, and what we are fighting for. We were pushing in a clear direction in the first leg. We won't leave it to chance and we are going for our target from the first minute of the warmup. We want to win the game because it is the only way we can get through the next round."
