Enrique: Man City vs PSG will be a football showcase and Donnarumma is among the best in the world
Luis Enrique, the Spanish manager of Paris Saint-Germain, has confirmed that the anticipated encounter against Manchester City will be one of the best matches to watch in Europe at the moment. This comes ahead of the two teams' meeting scheduled for Wednesday evening at the Etihad Stadium, as part of the second round of the UEFA Champions League.
Luis Enrique stated in remarks to "Sky Sports": "It is one of the best matches to play and watch. This clash represents a motivation for us, and we know it is the same for all competitors when they face the defending champions. I believe the two teams are similar, as both coaches have a philosophy based on playing with the ball and building relationships between the players."
Paris Saint-Germain's coach added: "I think it is one of the best matches to watch in Europe right now, and both teams are among seven or eight clubs capable of winning the Champions League, so we have the same desire to showcase our football."
Regarding the situation surrounding Manchester City, Luis Enrique said: "I have no information, and I think it is essential to wait for a final decision. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I believe this could serve as motivation for the players, but it could also pose a problem. However, the team has achieved good results so far, which means that the coach and players are capable of maintaining their focus and collecting points. We are all used to the pressures and noise around us, and we must learn how to deal with them."
Luis Enrique spoke about facing his former goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who currently plays for Manchester City, saying: "We know him well, and we know that scoring goals against him will be extremely difficult; he is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world. I had the chance to get to know Gigio on a personal level, and I am very happy to see him again and embrace him, but after the match."
