Villa switch focus to securing UCL return
-
BIRMINGHAM: Paris St Germain coach Luis Enrique hailed his squad as the best in the world on Tuesday after they reached the Champions League semifinals with a 5-4 aggregate win over Aston Villa.
The French side, who have never won Europe's elite club competition, will face either Arsenal or Real Madrid in their second semi-final in two years.
On Tuesday, they lost 3-2 to Aston Villa in the second leg and the English side would have drawn level 5-5 or even won it over the two matches had goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma not pulled off a remarkable series of second-half saves.
"I think I have the best squad in the world, not only the goalkeeper. When you are in a club like PSG, you have a lot of quality players," Luis Enrique told Amazon Prime TV.
