Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique and player Achraf Hakimi shared their thoughts on their team's 2-0 win over Bayern Munich and their qualification for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals in an interview with PSG TV.
After the game, Luis Enrique said: "This was a very challenging game. It is never easy to play against a world-class team like Bayern Munich. Especially in the final stages of the game, we were outnumbered and the situation became more difficult. I think both sides played evenly. We were fully prepared before the game and I am pleased with the team's fighting spirit."
“We must recover quickly and go all out to prepare for the semi-final. In this long season, the team has come this far with the positive attitude shown in every training and every game. I think we deserve to be on this stage and our fans deserve to witness it. I hope we can keep improving and advance to the final again. This is our unswerving goal.”
Ashraf Hakimi said: "The opponent is very tough. We know that the victory or defeat of this kind of game often depends on details. Although we encountered some difficulties today, the team showed extraordinary courage and finally won the victory, which is the most important thing."
"We were also well prepared mentally. Before leaving the locker room, we stressed the importance of both physical and mental investment. We won because we worked hard. At this stage of the season, mental strength is particularly important. Even in the unfavorable situation of two red cards, the team still showed admirable willpower."
