A large part of PSG's presence in the next round of the Champions League depends on a win away to Salzburg. The French side's coach, the Spaniard Luis Enrique, appeared in the press room and admitted that the magic formula is just to create more chances than their opponents and avoid conceding to them.

Luis Enrique affirmed that “there are no magic formulas” to end his team's goal drought, which this Tuesday is playing one of its last Champions League games of the season against Salzburg, and opted for continuing to create chances: “insist, insist and insist”.
“We can only create more chances than our opponents and make them generate less. In those facets we have very good numbers and that's what makes you have more chances to win. Then, if you are more effective, that's part of football. We can only insist, insist and insist,” said the coach at the press conference prior to the match in Austria.
Although he considered the duel as “vital” and acknowledged that there is a risk that his players may face it with some fear, because in case of defeat they could be eliminated, he assured that this type of duels are “wonderful”. “It has all the ingredients for someone who coaches or plays at PSG,” he said.
“It's a vitally important match, I hope my team is not affected, when you have matches like this you can be affected. But if I look at what we have done these games, I like what I see, it gives me confidence, if we are successful in front of goal we will see,” he said.
He acknowledged that it won't be easy against a rival that also needs points, which, he said, could leave them more space in defense if they also attack.
