Enrique: We defied Liverpool’s high expectations… and Hakimi put an end to the difficult spell

Enrique spoke about last season’s clash, describing it as “world-class”, and expressed his desire to play a match of similar quality but with a better result, emphasising that the atmosphere at the Parc des Princes is fantastic and that playing at home gives the team a real boost.

Regarding Iketike, who is returning to the stadium with Liverpool, he said he does not usually speak about players who have left, but he praised his significant development since his early days in Paris, where he has become a prominent international player.

As for the style of play, he expressed hope of having more possession than Liverpool, whilst acknowledging the difficulty of the task against a strong side led by an excellent manager.
