Despite Xavi’s impressive record of winning over 20 major trophies as a player and clinching La Liga in his debut season as a manager, Enrique stands by his assertion.
The upcoming clash between the two sides in the Champions League has sparked discussions about their respective coaching styles and legacies at Barcelona.

Xaxi mentioned that he maintained a strong bond with Luis Enrique and the team should take pride in the “Barca DNA” he shares with Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola and Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta.
Xavi stated, “It is now in the hands of the players to discover the DNA that defines us.”
“Football can be unpredictable, but we will strive to manage the changes. Luis Enrique has a talented squad, but we will aim to face PSG on equal footing.”
