In “L’Equipe de Greg,” Benoît Trémoulinas, former player of Girondins de Bordeaux and now a consultant, spoke before this first leg semi-final between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Luis Enrique notably discussed the importance of this match compared to others. The topic was: PSG at full strength, Vitinha fit to play.

“If we were less interested when we played Albacete rather than a European Cup semi-final? (laughs) It’s true that often, in away games, Unai Emery, two or three times, left me at home. He would say, ‘Tremo, away on games like Levante or Getafe, you’re not often 100%’. I would reply, ‘Yes coach, but already, I have to stay fit then there is a European Cup game behind’ (smile). Unconsciously we get stressed, and even if we are tired, when you’re in the tunnel, you look at the opponent a little, you start playing quarter-finals, semi-finals or finals, the tension starts to rise a little. You can see the nearly full stadium at the end, it’s noisy. And when you enter, that Champions League music, just with the adrenaline, you’re not at 100%, you’re at 200%. The goal is also not to be too much at 200% to avoid technical errors or positioning errors because that can happen. You have to be focused and the players are prepared for that.”
