He made them win the match because with what happened tonight in the first 20 minutes and what happened in London, the result would have been very different. »»

I saw the disappointment of my players, who were crying in the locker room. If I think the best team has lost? Yes I think so. I say it, and they also say it, they (the staff of PSG) have just told me. »»

Enrique responds to Arteta: “We deserved to be in the final”

An opinion that Luis Enrique does not share, which replied in stride. “” Mikel (Arteta) is a good friend but I don't agree at all, launched the Parisian coach.
They played in a very intelligent way today, they managed to play the way they wanted, but we scored more goals than them and in football, it is the most important. Arsenal played a very good match, we suffered a lot, this is probably the match where we suffered the most. But we deserved to be in the final. We played very well in the first leg, and in the second half tonight we could have scored more goals. »»
