Despite competing in the Champions League playoffs after failing to finish in the top eight of the league stage, Luiz told Enrique that PSG are still the best team in Europe.

And he said his side proved him right by beating Bayern to seal their date with Arsenal in Budapest on May 30.

“Do I believe we can win the final? Yes,” Luis Enrique told reporters. Remember what I said after the group stage?

“I said I don’t see any team better than us. Critics were saying PSG might not be that great, but I was right.

“Bayern are at our level and Arsenal are one of the best teams this season. They have had an incredible year and are still chasing. Premier League.

“They are in the final, but I believe in my team and it is important to underline that.

“We have shown in the last three years that we are ready to play against any opponent. This is a team you can count on because we always fight.”

PSG have won plaudits for their attacking play, but Luis Enrique said Munich’s performance, following a 5-4 first-leg win last week, proved they can also defend properly.

“Today we showed that when we have to defend with fewer blocks, we can do it,” said the former Barcelona coach. “We don’t like to do it and we don’t select players to play that way, but we can do it.

“It’s great to see players with that mentality. We’ve improved a lot in our defence.

“Last week we had a lot of one-on-one situations, but we won more duels in this game and kept our level.

“Parisians like to play beautiful football and they like to fight and that’s our philosophy.”

PSG are on the verge of winning Ligue 1 for the fifth season in a row and the eighth time in the last nine seasons.
