Luis Enrique and Xavi Hernandez had a personal spat before the Champions League tie between FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Now, in the Asturian's documentary 'You have no f...ing idea', more details have been revealed about the confrontation between the two former Barça stars.
In the second episode of the docuseries, it was revealed how the Gijón-born coach returned to the attack against Xavi and his way of managing Barça. Before facing the Catalans in the Champions League quarter-finals, one of his assistants argued that the Barça team made many mistakes in defence, and 'Lucho' responded with a brutal 'rant' towards the player from Egar and his team's way of playing.
"Barça has not been a guarantee of this in Xavi's two seasons. It is not a dominant team or one that keeps the ball. If this happens to us in our era, we would not be stuck, but the next thing. How the story changes"
The reaction after the defeat in the first leg
Luis Enrique's 'attacks' did not stop after these statements. After losing 2-3 to Barça in the first leg of the quarter-finals played in Paris, the Asturian said that "if I do the analysis that we do, you leave with the feeling that Barça was better, false," began the former Spain coach.
"Barça dedicated themselves to playing long balls, if you are pro Xavi you say it is the third man, if you are a normal analyst this is a long ball or a long ball or like Eibar. Ter Stegen broke a record with 24 long balls in the match," he concluded. 'Lucho' continues to give something to talk about with the 'pearls' extracted from his documentary.
