Early this morning, Paris defeated Barcelona 2-1 away in the Champions League, and Enrique accepted an interview with the media after the game.

Match

"I must say we played a very good game and started it hard because they were always in possession, and Barcelona has as many high-quality players as ever. The first 20 minutes were difficult, we scored, gained more confidence and brought the draw into the midfield. We performed better in the second half. No matter who the players were and what problems we encountered, we were here, like the fans. It was an important victory because it was always complicated to play against Barcelona."

Team physical fitness

"Not surprising, we were the European team with the least training since the start of the season, but it was a cliché. Remember, we suffered a lot of difficulties in the Champions League phase last season, and this moment is important to strengthen confidence."

Entering the top eight is now your publicly acknowledged goal?

"I don't know because it depends on the schedule, and our schedule is tough. We can win all the games, but we can also lose because all the teams we face are very high. But I don't care about this. I mainly want to feel our DNA as a team, a club."

Are you proud to impose your style and will on Barcelona?

"Whoever wears Paris Saint-Germain's jerseys, we play with this identity characteristic. It's always difficult to face Barcelona, ​​and it's almost impossible to impose my will on them, but we resist the pressure on our opponents. We played a very, very high-level second half. It's important on the confidence level."

You're always calm even when you're behind

"You have to know how to manage the game and know how to adapt, and last year we've demonstrated the ability to overcome difficulties in the game. If you remember the Super Cup against Tottenham, the situation is the same, and we're proud of it."
