Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona face each other this Wednesday, in a Champions League game. On the eve of the duel, coach Luis Enrique, from PSG, said that he may have a disadvantage as he already knows Barça and Xavi.
Luis Enrique was champion of the 2014/2015 Champions League coaching Barcelona. There, he led Xavi, who is now the coach of the Catalan club.
“I don’t know Xavi as a coach, I only know him as a player. I know the club, Barça, well, but I don’t know if that’s an advantage. Maybe that could also be a disadvantage. I feel prepared to face this type of match and give everything. It’s work, you have to be professional. I love this team, but I have to think about my work and my current team. I’m convinced of this project here”, he said.

Luis Enrique also revealed what Paris Saint-Germain’s strategy will be for the clash, but showed respect for the opponent.
“We want to press offensively, hold the ball. But a lot can happen in a match. They are two teams similar in their approach to the game, it will be two very close football matches. Some people think we are favorites, others don’t, but that doesn’t matter. Above everything, we have to think about our game, what we have to do to win”, he commented.
