Luis Enrique believes Emery's PSG will go for the jugular

The last 16 match-up will be a thrilling pair of clashes and the Asturian coach had praise for the French side

Luis Enrique hailed Unai Emery's PSG ahead of their Champions League clash with his Barcelona on Tuesday in Paris.

The last 16 match-up will be a thrilling pair of clashes and the Asturian coach had praise for the French side.

"Knowing Unai [Emery], I am sure they will come straight at us and try to put pressure on us," he said. 

"It will be an attractive game. We have the same target: to keep the ball away from them and to try and create chances. It will be a daring PSG side, backed by the home support and trying to make things difficult for us."

He continued: "At this stage of season I’m worried about all of PGS’s qualities: short game, long game, quick on the wings, crosses... everything.

Defensively they’ll demand a lot from us. They are a complete team, but that’s to be expected in these type of games. Let’s see if we can beat them."
