Thomas Frank on PSG: "I'll be disappointed if we don't compete and bounce back" | OneFootball

Thomas Frank feels European champions PSG are 'almost complete' - he's relishing the chance to face them in the UEFA Champions League at Parc des Princes in France's capital this evening (8pm UK).

Matchday Five of the league phase of the competition reunites us with opponents we pushed to the limit in the UEFA Super Cup in Udine, Italy in August.

We went 2-0 up that day through Micky van de Ven and Cuti Romero, only for PSG to recover with goals in the 85th minute and deep into added time to take the tie to penalties - PSG came through 4-3 in the shoot-out.

Almost four months on, it's a different set of circumstances as we face the Ligue 1 giants again, this time off the back of a 4-1 loss in the north London derby on Sunday.

Speaking to us at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night, and asked 'how good are PSG?', Thomas replied: "They're very, very good. I think they are almost complete, I would say.

"Offensively, they have so much threat, both running in behind, pace, one vs one abilities, finishing outside the box, three midfielders that, you know, incredible on the ball, super aggressive in the pressure.

"It's a top team. The good thing is, we showed in the Super Cup that we can compete against them, and I'll be very disappointed if we don't compete and bounce back. 
We will suffer at moments, we will defend a lot - but we need to be able to compete."

How much was he relishing the challenge? "
It's what it all about - and you need to enjoy it, you need to enjoy when it's tough, you need to enjoy the suffering, and then there'll be good spells where it will be on the ball, we try to create. That's what we need to enjoy."
