Here are some of the most important quotes translated by PSG Post.
PSG vs Manchester City - Luis Enrique and Ousmane Dembélé pre-match press conference
Ousmane Dembélé was the first one to sit for the press conference and commented on his team's Champions League campaign so far and their upcoming game against the Citizen.
Ousmane Dembélé : "We deserved more points"
" Yes, of course. We will try to give our best tomorrow, we know it's not gonna be easy, against Manchester City but with the fans and our weapons, we prepared accordingly. We know that it is a crucial game to stay alive in the Champions League, so in this game, we need to put some craziness, play with our instincts and be disciplined and we'll give everything to get out of this game with three points.
"Though, in the others Champions League games, there was games that we deserved to win, I think we deserved more points but it is what it is, it's football."
Ousmane Dembélé : " I really like to play number 9"
Then the Frenchman compared his sensation between his different positions on the pitch.
" What I like as a false nine is that you are faster in front of the goal, you have one or two good opportunities in a game, and after in switching positions, we change a lot in a game with Désiré (Doué), Barcola or Kang-In Lee. So we found ourselves in front of the goal and honestly I really like to play number nine. Because I'm in front of the goal and can score more goals"
Ousmane Dembélé : "One of the most important games"
He then ended his press conference by highlighting the importance of their clash against Man City.
"Yes I think it is one of the most important ones, I think the one against Newcastle last year too as it was important to not lose. I think these are the two most important that I played with Paris Saint-Germain. Without forgetting the quarter-finals against FC Barcelona last year too."
Luis Enrique: "It is a special match tomorrow"
Then Luis Enrique sat in the room and was asked to described the similarities and differences between his style of football and Guardiola's.
"It is a special match tomorrow. Not just because of the importance of the game for both teams, but also because I am going to play against a friend who I played with for many years and we crossed paths as coaches at Barcelona. And I am delighted to be seeing Pep again. In terms of what we have in common, it is our footballing ideas.
"I don't think anyone can doubt our overall footballing philosophy in terms of being better than our opponents with the ball, pressing continually, and of course, there are nuances because every coaches develops their methods based on their players and where the team is at the moment. So we each have our own model. We have similar gameplan I think it will be a great game tomorrow."
