Barca Vs. PSG: Enrique, Emery In War Of Words

Published

Barcelona manager, Luis Enrique believes that his team can overturn the large deficit when they confront PSG on Wednesday.
He is optimistic that the Catalans have the best chance of reversing a lead this week because of their recent form in front of the net.
They have 11 goals in their last two games. If the home side scores early, it will put PSG under pressure and it could set up a thrilling 90 minutes, or more.
“We are only halfway through the tie. There are 95 minutes left and lots of things can happen. I go into the game with a positive mood. We have to do everything really well, both in defence and in attack. PSG are a really good side. Of course, lots of things have happened since the first leg.
“We have improved and have put in some good performances. We are optimistic by nature and convinced of what we can do. We will try to make the most of the favourable circumstances.”
However, Unai Emery of PSG thinks that Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez will try and crack a PSG defence that has let in 18 goals in league play this season.
PSG has conceded two or more goals seven times across all competitions, with the last occurrence coming on December 11 against Nice.
“Maybe they are now more dangerous. It doesn’t change their game or what this game is though. After the result here, to keep the same level over there is going to be very difficult.” PSG won the first leg 4-0 a fortnight ago in Paris.
