This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain (25th) faces Manchester City (22nd) at the Parc des Princes for the 7th day of the league phase of the 2024-2025 Champions League (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on Canal+). Luis Enrique spoke with Olivier Tallaron, Canal+. Transcription of a surreal exchange.
Luis Enrique “Like what if we ask the question correctly…”
You have a bit of the same playing philosophy with Pep Guardiola. But he plays with a real center forward Erling Haaland. A real new one. You don't play with a real center forward, what's best in the end? Why don't you play with a center forward?
How many years has Guardiola been at Manchester City?
Yes, it's true! Before Haaland he played without a center forward.
So if we ask the question correctly…
But he won the Champions League with a center forward.
What is their center forward called? Number 9? The center forward, the scorer? No, no the scorer?
Luis Enrique “No, but what is the Manchester City striker called? »
Haaland.
-No, but what is the Manchester City striker's name? What is his name? The name? The name, the name of number 9?
Haaland, yes that's what I said.
Haaland okay!
Before no!
Avant Haaland non.
Yes, so everything is said.
