Both Xavi and Luis Enrique have declined to label either team as the favorite ahead of Wednesday’s PSG-Barcelona clash in the Champions League.

On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain will face FC Barcelona at the Parc des Princes for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final. Ahead of this crucial match, PSG coach Luis Enrique refused to downplay Barcelona’s status, even though they are considered the underdogs in this encounter.

« No one can think that Barcelona is weak, it is a strong Barcelona. They have a good offensive dynamic. They have very good players; it is a club with a lot of experience that has already won 5 Champions League titles. It is not easy, but I feel stimulated. I hope we will have two beautiful matches, » commented the Spanish coach in a press conference on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Xavi also stated that Barcelona does not enter the match as the favorite. « This is not a strategy. They are the favorites because they have a great team. We are excited, but it is true that we are not the favorites. I truly believe this. PSG is the favorite; this club managed to take one of our best players, Ousmane Dembélé, this summer, » reminded the Spanish coach in a press conference.
