Being A Barcelona Fan Is An Added Incentive To Defeat Real Madrid – Luis Enrique

PSG manager Luis Enrique has come out to say that he is fired up to beat Real Madrid and reach the Club World Cup final. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Real Madrid is clearly the most successful team in the world, so it would be a big deal if PSG kicks them out of the competition.

Enrique insisted that being a Barcelona fan is an added incentive to do well against Real Madrid.

“It’s a pleasure to play against Real Madrid. It always has been, always is, and always will be because of what it means to play against a team that is the most successful in the world. You already know that I’m a Barca fan, I’m still a Barca member and a Sporting [de Gijon] fan, so it’s always motivating to play against Madrid.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
