Luis Enrique: 'A great challenge'

NEWCASTLE

"They were the team in hat four that nobody wanted. They're a team that works well and plays well with the ball. They're a complete team with their own philosophy. They'll be playing in front of their home crowd. It will be a great challenge for us."

DEMBELE

"He fits in well, he plays well, he can play on either wing. He's an incredible player. He can get forward and create more space. We see him working well in training. He's adapted quickly and very well. He has massive potential, and we're very pleased with him."

HIS MEMORIES OF NEWCASTLE

"I played against Newcastle the last time they were in the Champions League. I remember a spectacular team and a crazy crowd. I scored a goal and they beat us 3-2. But I remember a great fight, and that will be the case again tomorrow."

THE SQUAD

"Creating a team doesn't mean playing the same players all the time. We're putting together a team that will allow us to implement our philosophy. We always want to field the team that has the best chance of winning, but we have to take fitness into account. I don't want an XI, I want 23 first-choice players."

THE APPROACH

"They press hard, and every team in the world can suffer under that kind of pressure. We're working on that aspect, but we want to play tomorrow with our identity and our philosophy, we want to implement on the pitch what we work on during the week."

ARE PARIS GROUP FAVOURITES?

"Nobody in Europe or the world can say that Newcastle can't get past the group stages. They're a team full of quality and they'll be playing in front of their fans. Playing in matches like that is a wonderful thing. And I envy my players who will be on the pitch tomorrow, to be able to play matches like that."
