MUNICH, Germany - Paris St Germain manager Luis Enrique is confident that his youthful squad are ready to clinch their first Champions League title as they gear up for Saturdays final against Inter Milan.

The Spaniard believes that the squads big-game experience over the past two years under his guidance has put them in a strong position to lift the trophy in Munich.

Luis Enrique added that the hurdles faced by his side during the first half of the season have served as motivation for them as they prepare to face a seasoned Inter side.

Were a team thats used to playing in finals; these are situations were accustomed to and have already experienced. Motivation is important, but were used to it, Luis Enrique told a press conference.

There are always two ways to interpret experience, it can play both ways. I think its important to have experience, but that its still very relative.

What makes us strong as a team is that our journey has been difficult: there have been ups and downs, but having struggled can be an advantage. Were used to playing these finals, weve played against some of the best teams in Europe, and weve played some real finals along the way. Were ready, we wont be afraid.

He emphasised that they would aim to control the game by dominating possession, and focusing on areas where he believes his team is strongest.

Luis Enrique said his primary motivation was to make history with PSG, which he called an exceptional club. He said he felt privileged to be involved in the game and promised his side would give everything for the fans.

When asked to compare himself as a coach now to when he won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015, he replied: Im calm thanks
