UCL 2024-25: Luis Enrique hopes special PSG tie with Man City is not season defining

The Hindu  

Paris St Germain and Manchester City’s Champions League clash brings former colleagues and friends Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola head-to-head, but the PSG manager said on Tuesday that he hopes it won’t be the most important game of its season. “Tomorrow is a special match, not just because of the importance for the two teams but because I will be up against a friend who I played with for many years and we crossed paths as coaches,” Luis Enrique told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s game. “I hope the most important match is not the one against Manchester City, I hope it will be in the next phase of the competition at a very high level with the trophy at stake.” “That is what I hope for.” The PSG boss knows, however, that the penultimate game of the league phase against City could be crucial in deciding the future of both clubs in the competition. “I hope to have other more important games, but this is a special game because in the new format of the Champions League I don’t think anyone could predict that City would have this number of points ahead of match day seven,” he said.
