"There's no credit for the coach. It's natural. They keep playing all the time, they're always motivated. We finished training next to the bus. They're a special group of players. It's a real joy to coach them. We always have confidence in the team. We're always looking to improve. We're very demanding of ourselves, and we're having a very good season."
"Of course, I'm very proud of what I saw throughout the match. We're very happy with the way we played. It's important to avoid complacency despite the three-goal cushion, and the team demonstrated clinical finishing with only eight shots, five on target, while overperforming their expected goals."
PSG defeated Chelsea 3-0 in the Champions League last-16 second leg at Stamford Bridge, with goals from Kvaratskhelia, Barcola, and Mayulu securing an 8-2 aggregate victory. The club has now reached the quarterfinals in three consecutive seasons, matching their progress from the previous eight years combined. PSG's recent form against English opposition is exceptional, winning five of their last six Champions League matches against such teams. Luis Enrique emphasized that maintaining motivation requires no special effort, as the players naturally remain driven and demanding of themselves. Despite limited shot volume, PSG's clinical finishing and goalkeeper Safonov's nine saves ensured a clean sheet performance.
