Meeting Highlights...THE SPIRIT
I think we're in a good situation this season, with a very good collective spirit, and this tie comes at a time when we're feeling good. There's no away goals rule, so I'm really looking forward to playing this game at home, I know there'll be an extraordinary atmosphere. But the order of the games doesn't really matter to us; our sole aim is to win. I hope the ambition will be bigger than the pressure. We're happy to play at this level, and we want to qualify for the semi-finals. In the group phase, I saw a lot of good things, others not so good. But today we are very ambitious for tomorrow's game, and we want to play to win and qualify.
...ABOUT MATCH
We want to apply attacking pressure, to keep the ball. But so many things can happen in a game. They're two similar teams in terms of their approach to the game. It'll be two very similar types of football. Some think we're favourites, others no, but it's not important. We above all have to think of our game, about what we're going to do to win.
...TEAM UPDATE
My job is to find solutions. There are players missing, but that's the way it is. We work with a squad and we have to be able to cope with that kind of thing. We have to use the ressources we have available. We adapt, and I try to have a positive approach with regards the absentees. I can change my approach, I can use other players. There are solutions. There are a few opposing players who are threatened with suspension for the second leg, and we have them too. But I don't pay any attention to that. We want to face teams with their best players so that the spectacle is complete. They're two very good teams, who play very attractive football, and we're looking forward to it.

Hansi Flick
Manager on Barcelona...PSG
I think the word after four years is excitement. We are very motivated. I think we arrived at the best moment of the season, but we are facing a team made to win the Champions League and one of the best coaches in the world. I have a very good relationship with Luis Enrique, all the respect in the world for him. I insist that he is one of the best coaches in the world.
...HOW TO STOP MBAPPE
Mbappé, Dembele, Kolo Muani... So with the entire squad. Logically, he is their scorer. You have to be attentive to surveillance, transitions and defense. You have to be brilliant in this aspect.
...TEAM UPDATE
I am positive with everyone who has traveled. Unless there is a surprise, they may be available tomorrow. In principle, availability of one hundred percent who have traveled. Gündogan will be important. You have to win those duels in the center of the field. Normally they mark him individually, but tomorrow has to be key. It is a game in which it will be difficult for us to have the ball in the opponent's field and get out of the pressure.
