“It’s 50-50”

Rafa Yuste, Barcelona’s vice-president, was more cautious. “No one is the favorite, it’s 50-50. We have a lot of respect for this opponent. We will play with determination and a lot of desire,” he said before continuing. “PSG is a great team with a great coach whom we know well because he is a friend. It’s a team of world-class level. We will have two spectacular matches given the form of PSG and Barça.”

Rafa Yuste also mentioned the reunion with Luis Enrique, former Barcelona player… and Catalan coach during the comeback in 2017. “He is a friend and a great person. He has the Barça DNA, he has won many titles with us. He is a great coach, he knows everything about us, and I say hello to him,” he joked, being careful. This could be an advantage. “Life is made of little secrets that we will not reveal (laughs).”
