The AC Milan coach, Stefano Pioli, has spoken to the club's official channel on the eve of the match against Paris Saint- Germain. About the awaited challenge, he said these words:
"It is a very important match for our group, against a very strong team that plays intense, energetic, and technical football. PSG is a team with great champions and a coach that I respect a lot as a person and as a coach. We need a high-level performance in a very high-level match."
On the team's condition, Pioli added:
"These anticipated matches help the players recover the energy lost in previous matches. The team is doing well, as are our opponents. Both teams will try to play the game, they want to do it in the absolute way. They are a complete team. We will need a performance of depth from all points of view. The team is ready and prepared."
On Paris Saint-Germain:
"A team with many players and champions. Before, it was very reliant on individual solutions, now they still have these great individuals with Mbappé who is the best in the world, but with Luis Enrique now the team has its own identity."
On Kylian Mbappé, Pioli:
"It is wrong to focus only on him. They have a team built to win the Champions League. Mbappé has incredible numbers, 46 appearances, 26 goals, and 20 assists. To make him less effective, we need to dirty more balls, be compact and aggressive when needed, and be a team from start to finish."
