Toril: 'We're good enough and have the quality to hurt PSG'
'They'll be tough opposition because they have quality players, they're very physical and quick', added Toletti.
Alberto Toril and Toletti appeared to speak to the press on the day before Real Madrid's clash with PSG on matchday two of the Women's Champions League Group Stage at the Di Stéfano 6:45pm CEST. The coach reflected: “They're one of the toughest opponents in the group, they have real experience in the Champions League. They're a hard side, but we're in good shape, playing at home and it'll be a good match. We have a good chance to win it. They're a well-drilled side who deal well with these kinds of games, but they're coming into it with increased pressure after their poor result in the opener and they really need three points here, just as we do”.
“They're a very physical team, powerful and quick, they attack the space very well. We have to try and make sure we impose our pace on the game. We have to defend and go forward together. If we're able to win it, it will be a significant step. We're good enough and have the quality to hurt them".
Previous meetings with PSG
“It's a different context, we have new players who have come in with real experience. We're a better team now and it's the moment to see where we're at, what we're lacking, or not as the case may be. You want to play against the best to see how you measure up".

“We're a young side, we're growing. We get better every year and we're just settling into the competition. The aim is to get a bit further with each passing year and the process is going brilliantly, we've had some great results. We want to keep it up, well aware that we are up against very tough opposition in the group".

“We play every three days, we've had some long trips and we're doing a good job. We often look beyond the result, the players' conduct has been phenomenal, giving 100% every three days. They know they have to deliver in their mentality and focus and we're coming through in every sense”.

“We used this system from time to time last year. It's a variant we have and can use at any time, although it's not generally our main system. Nahikari and Esther can play together in that system because we end up playing with two strikers, but in other set-ups it's a bit harder to get them both in because they like to move in the same areas”.
Toletti: “It's going to be a special game we have to give it our all”
“We're really excited to play this game. We know it will be tough because they have quality players, are very physical and quick but we're focused on taking three points. I'm happy because I know a lot of their players, it will be difficult in every area of the pitch. jugadoras y va a ser complicado en todas las áreas del campo. It's going to be a special game we have to give it our all".
“This year is different to last. The players who have stayed here have continued to grow and the girls who have come in have improved the team. We're in good shape, we've had a good dynamic since the beginning. We've rested well and we're ready for tomorrow".
