PSG ffar superior’ than Liverpool—Enrique

Paris St-Germain manager, Luis Enrique ended his post-match interview after their remarkable defeat by Liverpool with a bit of positivity. But the feeling was he was not being entirely serious.

PSG pummelled the Reds for 87 minutes in the Champions League last 16 first leg. Then Liverpool netted the only goal.

Enrique's side had 27 shots - the second-most on record (from 2003-04) by a side in a Champions League knockout match in which they failed to score and lost.

Enrique said: "I don't think it's too difficult to analyse tonight's game. We were far superior to Liverpool.

"We created more chances and produced a complete performance against one of Europe's top sides. Football can be unfair at times.

"Without a doubt [they can go through]. We've only played the first leg. We're a side with nothing to lose. If we can replicate tonight's performance, we can qualify."

"We deserved more," said Enrique.

"Their best player was their goalkeeper - he was magnificent today. Today wasn't a game based on the stats or the details.

"We were far superior. We didn't allow Liverpool to play. They were better than us for the first five minutes but, apart from that, it was us on top."
