This Wednesday, PSG will need an imperative victory against Manchester City to hope to qualify for the Champions League play-offs. A confrontation awaited by the two teams for many weeks and which will be crucial for Parisian ambitions. Present at a press conference this Tuesday, Luis Enrique did not avoid questions about this shock and the duel with one of his former predecessors when he was at Barça, Pep Guardiola. Last season, the 54-year-old coach was asked whether he represented Barça DNA more than Xavi before the clash between PSG and FC Barcelona.
Categorical in affirming that he represented the Catalan game more than his opponent a few months ago, Luis Enrique wanted to be much more measured this Tuesday when the same question presented itself with Pep Guardiola: “For me, Barça's 4-3-3, the one who brought it to the perfect model, is Guardiola. He's a number 1, a different coach, with a unique model. A person who innovated in the world of football. It is certainly a reference. I am lucky to be his friend. He is someone who opened up a completely different way of playing. (…) It opened the door to many coaches after him. I stick to the ball… It's a very Spanish play on words.»
