Speaking to Goal after the match, Enrique stressed: “Facing players of the calibre of Messi and Suarez is difficult, but I think the team did very well. There was a clear difference between the first and second half. The quality of Inter Miami was obvious, and I think we deserved to win. The match was much more difficult than it looked, especially after the first half.”
PSG completely dominated Inter Miami in this match. The French team quickly took the lead through Joao Neves, before scoring three more goals in the first half, including one more from Neves, Achraf Hakimi and an own goal from Inter Miami's Tomas Aviles.
Trailing after the break, Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, played better in the second half, although they could not penetrate PSG's solid defense to score an honorary goal. Coach Enrique also praised PSG's excellent performance afterwards.
“Obviously, we are having a historic season. Our goal is to go far in this tournament,” said the Spaniard. “We are in the quarter-finals, so only the top eight teams remain. The goal is to go as far as possible and compete for the title, but to do that we need to get through two more knockout matches. The season is long, but the motivation to compete is always there.”
Meanwhile, PSG players also expressed their respect for Lionel Messi. Striker Ousmane Dembélé said he was happy to see Messi again along with former Barca players such as Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and coach Javier Mascherano.
Defender Lucas Beraldo said: “Leo is a special person. It was amazing to play against him. When I was a kid, I watched his magic on TV, so it was a unique experience.”
