PSG coach Thomas Tuchel 'confident' facing Liverpool

PSG coach Thomas Tuchel says they go to Liverpool full of confidence for their Champions League opener.

Tuchel is relishing the challenge of Liverpool on Tuesday after his side saw off Saint-Etienne in a 4-0 win to maintain their perfect start to the Ligue 1 season.

He said, "I'm very happy with this victory, our sixth in a row since the start of the season.

"It's important to several options when we play. Today we were without Neymar and Kylian and I'm happy to have used players that were here during the international break.

"It was a difficult first half and Saint-Etienne played very well. We lost too many easy balls and that gave our opponents solutions.

"In the second half, we attacked down the wings more and we found more space for Di Maria and Julian Draxler.

"It was a good rehearsal, good for the confidence ahead of Tuesday's match in Anfield against Liverpool. It will be a big test for us, but we are confident."
