Luis Enrique hails Barcelona's relentless belief after miraculous comeback
Luis Enrique hailed Barcelona after they never stopped believing in a stunning comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique lauded his team for always believing their incredible comeback against Paris Saint-Germain was possible.
The LaLiga giants left it late to stun PSG with a 6-1 win at Camp Nou on Wednesday, sealing a 6-5 aggregate victory in the Champions League last 16, having lost the first leg 4-0.
With just three minutes remaining of normal time, Barca still needed three goals – and they arrived via a Neymar brace and Sergi Roberto's 95th-minute effort.
"I don't think there has been anyone who has stopped believing," the outgoing coach told beIN Sports.
"The team has been impressive. We have risked a lot and it has been worth it. There are endings that sometimes happen in football and today it touched us."
