Fully aware of the huge challenge awaiting him against the Parisian giants, Enzo Maresca stated:

I love playing chess and watching it. Football is the same. When your opponent makes a move, you have to respond. I think this match will be like a game of chess.

PSG come in strong, riding high after their treble—Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Champions League. But the Blues' manager believes in his team:

They are probably the best team in the world. But every match has its own story. We'll try to put in a good performance.

Enzo Maresca is a genius. Massive massive improvement from last season. Insane tactics

Maresca draws inspiration from the tournament's surprises:

Fluminense beat Inter, last season's Champions League finalists. Al Hilal knocked out Manchester City. Botafogo defeated PSG and played very well. But our style is different from Botafogo's.
