During his impromptu press conference on Thursday mid-flight to Qatar, Luis Enrique was asked about the atmosphere on Sunday. Does he think that PSG will somehow play at home in the country of its majority shareholder? “For us, it’s like playing house, replied the Spaniard. It's obviously a direct relationship because our owners are Qataris. For us, it's perfect. What atmosphere will there be in the stadium? Honestly, I don't know, but what I was told is that the Qataris love football, I could feel it during the last World Cup here, and that they identify with our club. I hope that there will be a great atmosphere, that we will be able to see a great football spectacle and of course that we will go for victory. »
