Luis Enrique has questioned whether the Premier League is the best in the after promising to go for a THIRD English scalp. Paris Saint Germain have already knocked out and on the way to the semi finals.
They have now got in their sights and boss Enrique says the French giants are determined to “rewrite history” by winning the trophy for the first time. But Enrique also delivered a dig towards Liverpool after knocking out the newly-crowned English champions and says that knocking out them and Villa will only give his players confidence before facing Arsenal.
When asked whether beating English teams will help, PSG boss Enrique said: “Maybe that is a question for Mr Arteta. But In terms of confidence, it is very positive for us.
“We beat Liverpool and they won the this year. But that doesn't mean anything because every single match is different. Everybody speaks about the Premier League as being the best league in the world.
"I don't know if I agree or not. But we are full of confidence and looking forward to playing in the semi-final. Is Arsenal the best team we have come up against? One of the best teams, yes, without a shadow of a doubt.

"They are second in the Premier League and that has been the case for the past three seasons. I don't know if it is the best team, but it certainly is one of the best teams.”
Enrique is great friends with Arsenal boss and the Gunners beat PSG in the league stage of the competition back in October.
But ex-Spain star Enrique says PSG are much better now and that they have got their eyes on making history just like Arsenal who have also not won the Champions League.
Enrique said: “I would like to remind you that Arsenal has not won the Champions League before and only one of us will get the ticket to the final over the two legs and I hope that will be PSG.
“The game that you are talking about took place on October 1 so that was seven or eight months ago there are huge differences between now and then.
“I have reviewed the game, and seen how far our game has come and we are better now. We are a more complete team. Our next objective is to rewrite history and there is only one way to do that.”
