PSG want to continue to enjoy - David Ramos / AP / SIPA

From our special correspondent in Lisbon,

History extends its arms to Paris Saint-Germain. After returning to the last four of the Champions League 25 years later, PSG has the opportunity to reach its first C1 final in its history on condition of beating RB Leipzig. Not enough to give the chips to a Thomas Tuchel calm like a snowy owl at a pre-match press conference.

"We are not talking about something historic, we are living the moment," said the Parisian coach. We deserved to be here, we had an extraordinary season. If we arrive in this historic position, it means that we have worked a lot before. It allows us not to think about the fact that this is historical. Because we have already done it and we can continue. We have to create an atmosphere for a whole year, not for one game and I think we did. The players are very calm and happy to be together. "

Sitting to the father's right, Ander Herrera makes the same speech. For him, Paris can not be under pressure since he has already fulfilled his contract with a quadruplet on the national level. “We have our dream, but no pressure,” explains the Spaniard.

🎙️💬 @AnderHerrera: "This RB Leipzig team is attacking with a lot of players. It's very dangerous for us but our forwards are fast. We have to be strong and careful." #PSGlivehttps: //t.co/0lNegVXR7Z

Mbappé holder? Verdict in the day

Rather than get bored with the symbolism of the event, Tuchel prefers to highlight the way in which PSG are preparing both on and off the pitch since their arrival in Portugal for the Final 8. “On the pitch we are very very strong. The week in Faro was of a high level, yesterday it was of a better level too. We are ready, we are here. It's not a historic thing, we are here to win, we are here to work. "

The German has another 24 hours to polish his squad and the tactics with which he will approach this half against his former player in Augsburg, Julian Nagelsmann. With a major question: is Kylian Mbappé ready to start the meeting? “Kylian played 30 minutes against Atalanta and didn't have a bad reaction with his feet. He had 6 days [between the two games]. We are going to decide today if we bring him in or if he starts. "
