LIVE: PSG vs Barcelona – Champions League quarterfinal | Football News
Luis Enrique was the coach of Barcelona in the notorious Champions League last-16 tie between the clubs in 2017, when the Catalans lost 4-0 in the first leg in Paris before recovering to win 6-1 in the return.
He admitted the tie was special for him given his past loyalties, but pointed out he had had no issues coming up against his boyhood club Sporting Gijon as a player.
“I also played against Sporting and scored goals for Barcelona,” he said.
“At the end of the day, I am a professional. Of course, I like Barcelona but I am pleased to be here at PSG and I must think about my job and my team. I think I’m capable of bringing trophies to this club.”
The 6-1 win saw Luis Suarez open the scoring for Barca in the third minute while three goals were also scored in the final three minutes of the match with Neymar bagging a brace.
