This is a news that upset the football planet. At the start of the week, we learned of the tragic disappearance of Diogo Jota, the Portuguese international in Liverpool, in a car accident, in the company of his brother. A heartbreaking news. Yesterday, Ruben Neves and Joao Cancelo could not hold back their tears at the time of the minute of silence tribute on the fringes of Fluminense – Al Hilal.

Tonight, emotion should be great again for Paris Saint -Germain – Bayern Munich. Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes all rubbed shoulders with Diogo Jota, especially during the last League of Nations. The preparation of the match was necessarily special for them.

“It is a new tragic. It is not possible to lighten it”

Present at a press conference, Luis Enrique was logically questioned on this subject: “Without a doubt, it is the worst news that can be received. We are all impacted. We have shown our support (a minute of silence in training) and indeed it is a new tragic. It is not possible to lighten it“, he first explained in remarks reported by The Parisian.

He then mentioned the case of the Portuguese of his team: “It's hard for Portuguese players from the club (Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Gonçalo Ramos, João Neves) who were his teammates in selection“.

“I have no feeling of revenge”

On another subject, he gave news from Ousmane Dembélé and a possible tenure: “He did all the week of training with the group. These training sessions have given me a lot of information. I am very happy to be able to have Ousmane with the team. But it's not time to give information to Bayern! We'll see tomorrow“.

Finally, he explained that he refused to see this match as revenge following the defeat of Parisians in Germany in the Champions League at the start of the season: “For me, it's a little different. I have no feelings of revenge. Revenge what? Of a Champions League match? It is a motivating match because it is the quarter -final of a new competition. This is enough to be motivated. (…) At the beginning of the season, we notably lacked efficiency in the Champions League and we were able to appreciate this improvement. I do not know where was the click, but I am very happy to see how the performance of the team went throughout the season“The message is clear.
