Danilo Pereira: 'Only think about the game'

The Paris Saint-Germain defender is looking to end the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg against Barcelona with a smile.

THE MATCH VS. BarcelonA

"The coach is sending out calm vibes to us. That's important for games like this, to be able to only think about the match. When you get to the Champions League quarter-finals, no team is favourite. It's a special game, because we're two world-class teams. We're going to try and get the win, and make our fans and everyone here in Paris happy."

MArquinhos

"I think he's a role model for all the players here, from the first team to the Youth Academy. He always tries to help the others, he's important for us. As a player, he's fantastic and always plays well."

Gonçalo Ramos

"It seems to me that Gonçalo is confident. He's a player who needs that, and with playing match after match and scoring, he's getting stronger. Each time he plays, he gives everything he can, and that's important for us."

 

THE SQUAD's spirit

"Luis Enrique gives everyone their chance. As a player, that's what you want. Even when things aren't going well, we try to pick ourselves up every day and keep going. We know it'll be a tough game. We have to win and knock out a big team. But we have to go into the game very calmly, because that's how we can do great things."

Achraf Hakimi'S ABSENCE

"We know Achraf is suspended. He's an important player for us, but we have other players who can play in that position. Marquinhos is able to, Warren (Zaïre-Emery) too. They don't have the same qualities as Achraf, but they can contribute."
