JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain travel to Bayern Munich's headquarters for the first leg of the Champions League round of 8 on Thursday, April 8. Midfielder Leandro Paredes revealed parisians are now much better prepared.
The tough midfielder revealed his opinion on PSG's shortcomings when they last faced Bayern in last season's Champions League final.
"I think we need to improve mentally after last season, and we have done it," Paredes said in an interview with PSG TV (via PSG Talk), Wednesday.
Despite a sluggish start to the season at PSG, the 26-year-old insists they are more than ready for the challenge.
"With our physical boost and recovery after a difficult start to the season, we are now better than last season. We have quality players, and we have ambitions to go a long way," he said.
Unfortunately, Paredes' confidence will not be practiced directly on the field of the Allianz Arena stadium. Currently, he is on suspension due to card accumulation.
"It's hard for me to accept that I'm not going to be on the field to help my teammates," Paredes continued.
"I know that I was under threat of suspension when we were against Barcelona. I got a yellow card."
PSG will be sorely missed by the Argentinian, given that he is capable of disrupting opponents either with or without the ball.
However, Paredes was confident his team could win the match and even qualify for the semi-finals.
"But I have the confidence in my teammates to go and get results there and I look forward to playing for the second leg. This squad is 100 percent ready. We entered the last part of the season with great determination and this game really motivated us.""
