On Tuesday, the first participants of the Champions League semi-final were revealed. These are the clubs "Barcelona" and Munich's "Bayern".
After a victory with an overall result of 5:1 in the quarter-final series against PSG, "Barcelona" coach Luis Enrique admitted that it would be too pedantic to look for mistakes in his team's actions.
"If I really wanted to, I could find shortcomings. However, I have to admit that the players executed the plan almost perfectly. It was amazing to watch our offensive efforts and pressure on opponents," praised the coach his players.
Neymar's double ensured a 2:0 victory for the Catalans and brought the 42nd victory for the team led by L. Enrique in over 50 matches. This is the best result of a "Barcelona" coach in the club's history.
"Barcelona" defender Gerard Pique stated that the team is not afraid to face "Bayern" in the semi-finals.
"We should not avoid the German club. In the Champions League semi-finals, any opponent will be very dangerous. We have a great attacking trio - Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suarez. If one cannot score, then the others will," G. Pique expressed confidence in his team's form.
