PSG see controversial request ahead of Champions League last-16 clash with Chelsea approved | Goal.com US
"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 obtained approval for a match postponement, continuing a pattern from previous seasons where the club requested delays to domestic fixtures around European competition dates. Last season, PSG's Nantes match was postponed despite objections, and in 2023-24, their Nice fixture was delayed around Champions League semi-final commitments. However, these postponements did not provide competitive advantage, as PSG lost to both Aston Villa and Borussia Dortmund in subsequent European matches. PSG drew Chelsea in the Champions League, with the winner facing either Liverpool or Galatasaray. Manager Enrique expressed confidence about the draw and upcoming fixtures, emphasizing PSG's current status as competition champions.
