Brest will be tricky opponents in Champions League says PSG s Luis Enrique

Paris St Germain are wary of Brests collective team strength and the Parisian side are bracing themselves for a tricky test, manager Luis Enrique said on the eve of Wednesdays Champions League second leg playoff clash at Parc des Princes.

PSG put themselves in the driving seat after a 3-0 victory at Brest in the first leg last Tuesday, thanks to Vitinhas penalty and a brace by the in-form Frenchman Ousmane Dembele.

But Luis Enrique was not getting carried away, as his side, who are top of the Ligue 1 standings, chase a first Champions League title.

Without a doubt, it is a tricky match despite the very good result. Our job is to think of this match as an obligation to win from the outset, Luis Enrique told reporters on Tuesday.

I think the atmosphere will be one of total support. We just need to think about attacking and defending in a total way.

Brests strength is their team and not necessarily their individuals, even if there are players like (Pierre) Lees-Melou. (Ludovic) Ajorque obviously takes risks with his game. Its very difficult to play against Brest and you have to be prepared. Can Brest turn things around? Our aim is not to let that happen.

The Spaniard added that he was pleased with new January signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The 24-year-old Georgian winger joined PSG from Italian side Napoli for a reported fee of 70 million euros ($73.14 million) on a contract until 2029.

He has made six appearances for PSG, scoring once.

Im happy with him. Its obvious that he needs time to adapt, theres no magic formula. Im very happy with the way hes behaving and training. Hes a recruit for the long term. Im in no hurry, Luis Enrique said.

Midfielder Fabian Ruiz also urged caution
