The PSG manager was also questioned about whether his familiarity with the club would benefit his team, and he also shared his thoughts on facing Xavi.
“It’s a completely different game for me, but I’ve faced them before, both as a player and as a manager. My love story with Barcelona goes back many years, but my profession comes first,” he added.
“I’ve known him as a teammate, as my player, but not as a coach. I know the club very well, but I don’t know whether it’ll be an advantage.
“Nobody can say that this Barcelona team is weak, they are strong. They’re doing well going forward, they have good players, and they’re a club with a lot of experience, having already won five titles. It’s not easy, but I’m feeling motivated.”, he added.
Having famously clinched the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015, Luis Enrique now faces the challenge of guiding PSG to their inaugural triumph in the competition.
