„Paris Saint-Germain“ defender Maxwell warns „Barcelona“ that his team is full of self-confidence following their UEFA Champions League quarter-final victory against London's „Chelsea“.
The French champions played to a 1-1 draw at home against the leaders of the „Premier League“, but managed to secure another draw of 2-2 in England and advance to the next stage, as they scored more away goals.
They were able to do this despite Zlatan Ibrahimovič being sent off from the field as early as the 31st minute, so Maxwell says that the team's mood is now very high.
„That match filled us with self-confidence“, - the Brazilian said at a press conference.
„It showed our character and ability to stay together and win in tough conditions at the opponents' formidable fortress“.
„Now we dream of reaching the semi-finals“.
PSG already faced „Barcelona“ in the group stage. A victory was achieved in Paris with a score of 3-2, but at „Camp Nou“ the French had to admit their opponents' superiority. Maxwell added that these challenges only strengthened the team, and this evening's match will be completely different.
