Barcelona v PSG: Style, spectacle and Enrique, Pedri hypes clash

This Wednesday at 9pm (broadcast on Canal+), Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces FC Barcelona (12th) at the Montjuïc Stadium as part of the 2nd day of the 2025-2026 Champions League. In a press conference, Pedri, the 22-year-old Barcelona midfielder, spoke about this highly anticipated match, with a great opponent and coach Luis Enrique, whom he particularly appreciates.

Pedri "It will be a spectacle that everyone will enjoy."

"PSG is a team that showed who they were last year, one of the best teams in the world. It will be a spectacle that everyone will enjoy. The missed final last year? All of us, Barça supporters, regret being so close to qualification. Football always has its revenge, everyone wants to play these matches." The offensive style of PSG? I prefer to play against teams that confront you directly, as they leave more spaces. When they fall back, it's hard to create opportunities, but I don't think that will be the case tomorrow.

Pedri "Luis Enrique is a brave coach."

Coach Luis Enrique (whom he knew at Barça)? I like watching football and, when I can, I do it with my family. Luis Enrique is a brave coach, it can be seen in the profiles of the footballers. They always try to have the ball, that's why they need less of the defensive phase." A great European clash? Both teams are favorites and we want to win the Champions. We have the squad to achieve it and it will be one of the best matches of the moment.", comments relayed by RMC Sport.

The message is clear, Pedri expects a great football match. Logically, two of the best teams of the moment will face each other. There will be absentees on both sides, certainly, but above all great qualities that will oppose each other. Each with a generally offensive style, which everyone prefers. There will be a show and probably goals. Even if it will not be a question of rushing in without thinking either.

Football is not just offensive, you also have to defend at a high level. But, unless there is a surprise, we should not see a low block that waits. Enough to have rhythm in this duel at the top, even if it is "only" the league phase.

Each team will want to immediately consolidate its place among the favorites of the season. Not to mention the essential: the 3 points to move towards qualification.
