Paris St Germain head coach Luis Enrique is happy to be facing Spanish side Real Sociedad in the Champions League last 16, but expects a tough outing as the season moves into a difficult second half.PSG qualified for the knockout stage placing second in Group F, while an unbeaten Sociedad topped Group D."I'm pleased with the draw because I really wanted to go back to Spain," the former Barcelona and Spain coach told reporters on Tuesday."We know Real Sociedad really well.

They have lots of players who have been with Spain, in the national team with me."We know it will be difficult. They won a group that included Inter Milan who were finalists in the championship last season.

And they still managed to finish top."Luis Enrique, who joined PSG in July, said he was still in the process of improving the squad to get the best out of them."I am very pleased with the first half of the season in terms of results," he said. "We had such a difficult Champions League group.

And in the end we've had good results also in the league."The most difficult part is still to be done in the second half of the season."PSG have a five-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings and face 14th-placed Metz on Wednesday.
