Enrique impressed with Flick’s Barca

The former Barca coach said he enjoys watching his old team:

"Flick's done brilliant job. He attacks, defends well, adapts to any match. I watch all Barcelona games because I’m fan myself"

Duel of similar philosophies

Enrique described the upcoming match as battle of equals:

"Both teams want the ball, both want to attack. The key will be possession"

He singled out Pedri for special praise:

"For me, Pedri's Harry Potter. I just hope he doesn’t bring his magic wand tomorrow. We’ll do everything to limit his influence"
