The documentary series on Luis Enrique, broadcast on Movistar, focuses in particular on the return match of the Champions League between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona. He highlights the preparation of the Spanish coach, who had seen almost everything coming and prepared the perfect plan.
In the third and final episode of the documentary dedicated to him on Movistar, “No tenéis ni puta idea” (“You don’t have a fucking idea”), Luis Enrique shines with his tactical apprehension of the quarter-final second leg of Champions League.
In a sequence from this documentary, a talk by Luis Enrique is broadcast before the match against the Catalans. The Spaniard speaks to the entire squad. He is standing in front of them, with a projector behind him showing images of the first leg.
“The goal is to be able to play the same way the whole match. Don’t go crazy if we concede a goal or score a goal. No. Don’t play from your heart. Think that ‘in 95/100 minutes, if we play the way we know how, we are better.’ Barça’s opening score is then broadcast.
A message for Mbappé and his possible last Champions League match
Luis Enrique also asks to press Araujo, “he’s a top player, but he’s the one who has the most problems with the ball.” The action where PSG presses Araujo, who returns the ball then receives a red card from Barcola, is then broadcast.
Luis Enrique then shows a phase of play where five Barça players are concentrated on a single Parisian in the area: “Today we are going to have options with those who are outside the area”, predicts the Spaniard. Once again well seen, with Vitinha’s goal from a shot outside the area.
“To finish, and this is a message for Kyky (he points to Mbappé who is sitting in the front row). It could be his last match in the Champions League, and it could be our last match of the season in the League Champions. Life is like that. It’s football, it’s life. Sometimes we don’t always win. lead in what a defense is.”
The documentary then flashbacks to the sequence where Luis Enrique described his defensive withdrawal as “catastrophic”. This time, Mbappé does exactly what Luis Enrique asked during this tactical analysis. He tackles and recovers the ball on a corner. And scores on the counter-attack to kill the match.
