PSG Coach Luis Enrique Urges Team to Forget Previous Win Over AC Milan Ahead of San Siro Match

Enrique confident in goalkeeper Donnarumma despite expected hostile crowd; Praises 17-year-old midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery's performance and character.

• Luis Enrique, the coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is supporting his goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is expected to face a hostile reception during the match against AC Milan at San Siro, due to his controversial departure from Milan to PSG two years ago.
• Emphasizing the need to stay focused despite the anticipated reaction from Milan fans, Enrique is confident that Donnarumma's performance will not be affected. He also expressed his belief in team member Milan Skriniar, who is also returning to San Siro after a transfer.
• Enrique praised the performance and character of 17-year-old midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery, describing him as a diamond with humility being one of his best attributes. Zaire-Emery, who exhibited promising performance with two assists against Milan last month, is suspected to receive his first international call-up with France.
• Group leaders PSG, having defeated AC Milan 3-0 at their home ground two weeks ago, are now reminded by Enrique to forget the previous victory as they face a different challenge at San Siro.
• PSG is currently leading in Group F of the Champions League with six points, with their goal to maintain and increase their lead. Meanwhile, AC Milan, having yet to score in the competition after three games, is at the bottom of the group with two points.
