But we're also looking forward to it, because Champions League matches are always great. We're at home and are determined to show our qualities. We'll give everything to win."
"PSG are a team with top quality in all positions and all phases of the game. They have a good build-up from the back, are direct and quick, are good one-on-one and very aggressive when pressing. It's a weapon of theirs, but it also brings risks and opportunities for us. We have confidence in our own game and I think we will have our chances."
