Speaking to DAZN after the Lille clash, Dembele said: “We played a very good game today. We are preparing well for what is to come (Liverpool). Since the beginning of the season, (Luis Enrique) has been telling us to play good football. Everyone is participating, whether it’s the midfielders, defenders or attackers. Everyone wants to be decisive. We are in a very good dynamic, we will try to keep it as long as possible. We are having a blast! Everyone attacks, everyone defends. We are a very united team, that gives results like that. It’s just fun for 90-95 minutes.”
He added: “We know it’s going to be a tough match. It’s the Champions League. Liverpool finished first, they’re also confident. It’s going to be a great show.”
While PSG are in a good form, they will be coming up against an inform Liverpool squad.
