The Parisians have already secured their 13th Ligue 1 title two weeks ago as they edged past Angers at home, therefore, Luis Enrique and his side will aim to remain unbeaten across their next five league games. Additionally, PSG's Ecuadorian centre-back Willian Pacho is ill and will be rested until Sunday to recover, he will therefore miss tomorrow's game.

Press Conference Transcript:

Q: On the difficult second half against Villa

Luis Enrique: " In general, I appreciated the whole game. I analysed the match in depth. I think we were able to play better than expected. We were really touched and we had great emotions during the game, but it is true that something could be improve throughout a game.

"Normally, when I analyse the game, calmly because I am not influenced anymore by the result and the emotions. I think it has been a high level game, we are a very courageous team who travelled to Villa Park against a tough opponent, we went up by two while playing well, I appreciated the attitude of my players, their behaviours.

"It is true that we made mistakes, there is of course things to improve, but most of what I've seen is positive. From there, it wouldn't be fair to think that we'll dominate all our opponents and that we are the only team in the Champions League and that we are the favourite, nobody in the club thinks this.

"We are one of the four favourite to win the competition because we deserved it this season. I think it is also important for us to be the only team to have reach this stage of the competition again this season. So I am happy with what we did, even though, there was 10 minutes where Villa could've leveled the tie, but they didn't. "

Q: On whether his side will be better next season

Luis Enrique: " [Laughs] I don't know, to be honest, I don't know. I don't if I should be honest or no. In any case I wasn't so sure about it last season, but I think it was positive to show it, and say it clearly that we would be better, because it is something that is transmitted. My job is to convince the players and the fans and if your coach is confident then you're confident too.

"For next year, I cannot say it at 100%, because I don't know which titles we'll win this season. We still have two titles to play for, we already won two and there's still two left and maybe a third with the Club World Cup that's almost for next season. If you ask me again later I'll happily answer after the season."

Q: On whether it is an advantage to only face Premier League team in the knockout stage

Luis Enrique: " Of course no, absolutely not. It is not an advantage nor an inconvenient. It is obvious that there is a model that could be common with English teams, but in this case, we faced Liverpool and Arsenal seven or eight months ago, then Villa and Arsenal once again now. Anyway, we know who Arsenal eliminated, we are in the semi-final, therefore, against one of the best teams in Europe. It is a team that had a great evolution under Arteta."
