Luis Enrique was asked about FC Barcelona. Enrique was also asked who he believed was the favorite of the match, and the Spanish manager said, "Even if you don't accept it, there will be people who will think about it. I don't mind. When the ball starts rolling, it is important. That they put me in the role of favorite... I prefer that they put me in the role of victim."

The controversy started when he was asked about Xavi's impact on the Barcelona DNA. Luis Enrique said, "Who best represents Barça's philosophy between me and Xavi? Without a doubt, me. That's my opinion. Possession of the ball, goals, pressure, titles, trophies. I represent Barça best, even if others think differently. I don't know Xavi as a coach, I know the teammate and player, but I know him as a coach only as a fan. I know the club and its players very well, I think it will be a very special game for me."
