Enrique is one hell of a coach, getting things with the PSG side to this stage of becoming champions of Europe but what seems to amaze me is the manager Enrique saying that among all the teams they played against in the champions league, that the hardest team are Liverpool and Aston Villa, that they are better than Arsenal who battled them in the semi finals, that the Gunners are not better and not even difficult, how true is that? To me it shows that the road to winning the champions league was easy for Enrique and his boys.
I think I understand Enriques point, I don't know why he thinks Aston Villa were tougher than Arsenal but I totally get his statement concerning Liverpool, they couldn't beat Liverpool at home but scored more goals home and away against Arsenal and Aston Villa, that means Liverpool was very tough to score against even though we all know that PSG played better but Liverpool's Defense was too tough that PSG had to win on penalties, Arsenal would been the toughest if PSG won them on penalties but it was easy to beat Arsenal in their home and at Paris. To me I won't say it was easy for PSG cause they faced several obstacles but were more prepared for it than other teams, they brought in a Champions League winning coach and signed younger players that are ready for success than playing for personal interest so it made coaching easier for Enrique since his team was one-minded.
I agree with and I don't blame Enrique, he is right to have said that or maybe is like a pay back for Arteta when he said he's team was the better side even when they still lost to PSG at Paris. Arsenal wasn't even sure of getting through when they played at home and lost then it repeated same thing again when they visited Paris it was annoying like a free gift they handed to PSG. For Aston Villa, that game made PSG scared in the second leg and if they got that 1 precious goal it would have been a bigger problem. Villa gave PSG a fight for their lives and same thing to Liverpool. I believe that if the defense of Liverpool was strong like the way they were in the first leg I don't think Liverpool would get to that penalty shoot out and it was a nightmare for Enrique because he wasn't in control like that of Aston Villa. What Enrique said should be a lesson to the Gunners because if they had put that same energy they did against Madrid all these won't have happened and PSG would have seen them as a more serious team.
