“I have to say, we played a very good match,” Enrique told reporters (h/t Culture PSG). “The start was tough because they had the ball, and as always against a team like Barcelona, they have so many quality players. The first 20 minutes were difficult, and we made some mistakes, but then we scored the first goal, gained confidence, and went into halftime with the draw.

“In the second half, we were the better side. We created a lot of chances, improved our performance, and fully deserved the win. I’m very happy because, regardless of the players or the problems, we showed up along with our supporters. It’s an important victory, because facing Barça is never easy.”
