Luis Enrique's Reaction when Asked about Barça's Victory

Luis Enrique was asked about the result of the Spanish Supercopa and his reaction is striking

Luis Enrique is a coach who's no stranger to Clásicos, having won absolutely everything with a superb Barcelona in 2015. However, now at PSG, things are a bit different since he's not as focused on the Catalan club. However, in the case of a final like the one experienced last night, the press wanted to ask him for his opinion.

Faced with the obvious question seeking a sensational headline, Luis Enrique was clear and concise. The journalist's question was whether he would watch the replay before going to sleep, and the coach said no. "No, I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed" were the unexpected words of the Spaniard, to the astonishment of several.

In fact, what caught the most attention was his particular interest in Dani Olmo, asking if he was able to play the game. Outside of this, everything seems to indicate that he's more focused on other matters regarding his club in France. However, he surely must have had some pleasure hearing the result.

Luis Enrique moves on from Barça

The Barcelona team is celebrating more than ever today, because despite being a minor title, nothing compares to defeating the biggest rival. Even when the performance was conditioned by the poor level of certain Madrid players and being out of position. The intention is to beat Madrid, and then the season's balance becomes irrelevant.

However, it could have been a more complete night with more 'euphoric' statements from Luis Enrique. The former coach and player of the culé club is a great inspiration for many, and hearing him celebrate was expected. However, unfortunately for him, not only did he not care, but he focused more on Dani Olmo than on what the team achieved.

This is what they want

For Barça's standards, things are going better than ever. They defeated Madrid by a landslide twice and are aiming for a third at the end of the season in the league. However, in terms of important titles, they're third in the league, and the Champions League, with Liverpool, seems more than impossible.
