Experience and struggle have prepared PSG for Champions League glory, says Luis Enrique

Paris St Germain manager Luis Enrique is confident his youthful squad are ready to clinch their first Champions League title as they gear up for Saturday's final against Inter Milan.

The Spaniard believes the squad's 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.

“We're a team that's used to playing in finals; these are situations we're accustomed to and have already experienced. Motivation is important, but we're used to it,” Luis Enrique told a press conference.

“There are always two ways to interpret experience, it can play both ways. I think it's important to have experience, but that it's 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. We're used to playing these finals, we've played against some of the best teams in Europe, and we've played some real finals along the way. We're ready, we won't be afraid.”
