Coach Luis Enrique already has his eyes on the match against Flamengo, in the final of the Intercontinental Cup. This Saturday, after Paris Saint-Germain’s victory over Metz in the French Championship, the manager looked ahead to the clash with the Brazilians.

“The Intercontinental Cup? It’s a very important goal. Unfortunately, we’re going to face one of the best teams in this competition. They have a very strong squad; we saw their qualities last summer, during the Club World Cup. It will be a very balanced game, with many challenges, because they have quality players, both technically and physically, as well as experience. It will be a very tough opponent,” he said.
