Luis Enrique wants fire & ice as PSG look to topple Dortmund

Luis Enrique says his main job is endeavouring to keep his Paris St Germain players calm ahead of their Champions League semi-final showdown with Borussia Dortmund (live tonight on RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player from 7.30pm).

PSG trail 1-0 from the first leg in Germany having already demonstrated their spirit to come back from 4-2 down on aggregate in their quarter-final tie against Barcelona to ultimately win 6-4.

"We can score two goals in a few minutes or we can also concede. If we concede a goal, it doesn't matter," the Spanish coach said.

"We have to stay calm like we were against Barcelona. I think it will be a very high-level match, which will be very competitive, like in the first leg.

"Dortmund are going to press high, so there will definitely be space between the lines. We want to find our best players in areas where they are dangerous.

"We're trying to relax everyone and above all take advantage of the chance we have to play in a Champions League semi-final.

"You always have to be prepared for things to go wrong and be ready to turn the situation around. Tomorrow, faced with any situation, I am convinced that my team will fight."

Enrique said the home fans at the Parc des Princes were "vital" to PSG's hopes of a turnaround.

"We have an absolute guarantee that our supporters will be behind us, as they have been throughout the season, including when we really needed them," he said.

"I'm waiting for this atmosphere that we know at the Parc des Princes and I hope that on Tuesday evening we will be able to celebrate the qualification with them."

Lucas Hernandez, who suffered a tear in his left anterior cruciate ligament during the first leg, has started his long road to recovery after undergoing surgery.
