“3-0 for Barca”: Enrique makes bold El Clasico prediction

Paris Saint Germain head coach Luis Enrique made a bold prediction about tonight's El Clasico in La Liga between Barcelona and Real Madrid, saying the Catalan Giants will easily defeat their arch nemesis.

A victory today will all but ensure the league title for Barcelona, who are unbeaten against Madrid in this season thus far.

Hansi Flick's charges are reeling from their semifinal defeat against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League, but still head into this match as the clear favourites.

Enrique, a former Barcelona player and head coach, had no doubts in his mind when asked who would come out on top.

"3-0 for Barcelona – easy," Enrique told French media after PSG's 4-1 win over Montpellier on Saturday.

Enrique's charges have qualified for the Champions League and will face Italian giants Inter Milan in the final on June 1.

Enrique, who had coached Barcelona to the Champions League title in 2015, said even with a different team the pressure of a final remained the same.

"There are no differences. I think that the final itself – the event itself – it doesn't matter what team you're in, it involves a cumulative pressure that you have to know how to manage.

"A final involves so many circumstances surrounding the match, that we have seen finals that continually change face, not only because of the result, but also because of the management of feelings. A final implies maximum level, maximum tension, but there are no differences in pressure, it is the same objective."
