Despite PSG&#8217;s impressive unbeaten league record, Mensah is confident that Auxerre can cause an upset.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m very confident against PSG. Most of my motivation comes from playing against top teams. I know it will be a good game for both myself and the team. These matches push us to perform better,&#8221; Mensah said.<\/p>\n<p>Auxerre&#8217;s home form has been a significant asset this season, with the team boasting the second-best home record in Ligue 1 after PSG. Mensah attributes their success at Stade de l&#8217;Abb\u00c3\u00a9 Deschamps to their passionate fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since our promotion to Ligue 1 two seasons ago, playing at home with our supporters has always been our strength.
