Xavi was asked about PSG's Luis Enrique's comments on believing he was more of the Barcelona style. Xavi responded and said, "I have seen him, well he is Luis Enrique. I have a great relationship with him. He has a team built to win the Champions League, we are facing a very difficult opponent and we are both looking for a similar style. We can boast the Barça DNA, Luis Enrique, Pep or Arteta. Tomorrow we'll be looking for the same thing, from here on it's up to the players to find the DNA that identifies us."

Xavi tried to clarify that there was no controversy as he said, "Luis Enrique? I've already said that we are both looking for the same thing, maybe I'm a better than him in some things, as he is better than me in some other things, but we are both looking for exactly the same thing. There is no more controversy."

Xavi continues to say that PSG are favorites against FC Barcelona tomorrow

Luis Enrique spoke recently, saying FC Barcelona is a favorite because of their successful history in the competition. Xavi disagrees and mentions that calling PSG favorites is not a mind game strategy. Xavi said, "To say that we are not favourites is not a strategy, I really think so. I think PSG are favorites; they have taken Dembélé away from us, and they have spent a lot of money, more than us. They are a team made to win the Champions League."
