At 4:00 in the morning on November 5th, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain will face Bayern at home. Before the game, Paris coach Luis Enrique attended the press conference and talked about some of the team's current situation.

About Bayern

- To determine who is the best team in Europe, we have to wait until the end of the season and we need to see how many trophies they can win. Right now, they're very strong, and they always have been. We know how difficult this game is, but we are ready.

About the tactics of this game

- The game will have similar situations and the same tactical principles. This will be an exciting game. Winning 15 games in a row is an incredible achievement. They are really good but tomorrow at the Parc des Princes, with our fans and support, we are confident of improving our performance and overcoming their pressure. This game will be similar to the games in the summer.

Regarding the team's injury situation

- all players are not at any risk. Dembele is in great form. He has participated in all training sessions in recent weeks and has played in the last two games and his physical condition has improved. Of course he will play tomorrow and although I don't know how long he will play, he is ready to play. We will decide when he will appear.

About Marquinhos

- In terms of football, there is no doubt about Marquinhos' level. He is also very good as a person and is a very good person. He's a real leader and I'm happy to have a player like that and hope he's here for a long time.

About points

- Winning here is important, not only for the 3 points, but also because we are in the toughest group in the Champions League. It’s important to take advantage of this game and this atmosphere. Every game is important, but our schedule is very dense and difficult and we have to get points as early as possible. That's our goal tomorrow, just like the first three games.

How to make the team unpredictable?

- You have to make a lot of changes. If you always do the same thing, your opponents are very smart and they will change their strategies. The goal is the same, but you have to achieve it in different ways. We're talking about small details and we're used to them. That's what we've been doing for the past few years. I'm very confident and I think we can do better, but I'm happy with where we are at the moment.

About Mayulu

- He is a very important player for us, not only because of his personal abilities and skills, but also his physical fitness and ability to adapt to different positions. This allows me to take full advantage of him during games and be flexible when I need to make substitutions. He is still improving and I am very happy with the performance of Mayulu and the players in the academy.

About Njarntu

- He comes at the right time and I'm excited to have a player like him on the team.
