Favourites Tag Means Nothing, Says PSG's Luis Enrique Ahead of Liverpool Clash

Paris St Germain manager Luis Enrique played down suggestions his side is favorite ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Liverpool, stating the tag means nothing in such matches.
The English champion, currently fifth in the Premier League, has suffered 15 defeats this season, while PSG leads Ligue 1 and remains well-positioned to defend its Champions League crown.
Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz missed Monday's training with injury, while French winger Bradley Barcola returned following an ankle problem; the tie repeats last season's round-of-16, when PSG eliminated Liverpool on penalties.
Enrique recalled that last year everyone favored Liverpool, yet PSG advanced; he acknowledged Liverpool manager Arne Slot speaks 'very well' of the team, though the match will be tough.
Reaching the semi-finals remains the goal for the French side, which is highly motivated to prove it remains in the running despite the inherent difficulties of the tournament.
