“For us, always playing and participating in a stadium like this, with a long history, it’s a pleasure,” Enrique said.

Paris Saint-Germain were great last week because they have been at Liverpool in the past 16 years, and have been nominated by many people to finally win the trophy this season.
But Emre is waiting for a difficult test in West Middles.
“The taik is not over, it’s still open, it’s difficult,” Emre said. “We are ready to suffer if we need to achieve our goal and win this game,” he said.
“At the end of the game, only one team will be in the semi-finals and the other team is out of the pitch, it is the beauty of the competition,” he said.
“Aston Villa is currently below, but the draw remains very open and both teams know,” he said.
“When people talk about the candidates before the game…the Champions League is full of candidates that has ended in the game.
“We have that benefit, but we don’t talk about assurances. If Ason Villa is better than us, they can overcome us, so we need to show that we deserve to be in the semi-finals.
