"The Champions League draw is difficult, as usual. We don't expect anything different. We are pleased. It will be interesting to play against one of the best English teams, who we know well. There is no feeling of revenge for us. This is a different competition. This is our pathway and we are used to it."
"We are the champions at the moment in this competition, so the problem is for all the other teams. They have to play against us, that is what I think."
"PSG have referred to the LFP's board - with Nantes' agreement - for this game to be postponed to the penultimate week of April. So, with Nantes' agreement already in place, it seems as if the game has every chance of being cancelled, which does provide Luis Enrique's side with an unfair advantage."
PSG will face Chelsea in the Champions League Round of 16 on March 11th and 17th, with the second leg at Stamford Bridge. Luis Enrique has dismissed any revenge narrative despite previous tensions, stating this is a different competition where PSG, as current champions, holds psychological advantage. PSG has requested postponement of their Ligue 1 match against FC Nantes with the opponent's agreement, seeking additional rest days between the two Chelsea ties. This strategic scheduling move provides PSG with a significant advantage over Chelsea, who face a demanding March fixture list that will test their squad depth considerably.
