Going into tonight’s Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona manager Luis Enrique is wary of the threat posed by Laurent Blanc’s men, saying that the Parisians' deficit from the first leg means that they will play with freedom.
Barcelona will host the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie at the Camp Nou and having taken a commanding 3-1 lead from the first leg at the Parc des Princes last week, the Catalans have a major advantage heading into tonight’s clash.
And Enrique feels that PSG’s huge deficit in the tie means that they will be attacking from the off and thereby make life difficult for the hosts.
“The difficulty is in the two-leg nature of the game”, he was quoted as saying by AS at a pre-match press conference.
“[PSG] are an opponent coming here with a deficit and they won’t be holding anything back.”

However, the Asturian insisted that his team will go for a win and try to replicate the same style of play that they had in the first leg.
“We’re going to go out and try and win the match, we want to have the ball and we have to be ready if they play against us in a similar way to the first leg, or in a completely different way.
“We’ll have to evaluate what sort of game it’s going to be.”
