Great scenes in the French capital

Xavi and Luis Enrique have enjoyed a happy reunion ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League tie between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

Both managers have had plenty to say ahead of the clash, with Lucho raising a few eyebrows by claiming he’s the manager who represents Barca’s style the most.

Xavi was then asked about those comments but came up with a pretty classy reply as he refused to let himself by dragged into any controversy.

And the two were clearly delighted to see each other ahead of kick-off at the Parc des Princes.

This is great.

Both managers have come up with a few surprises with their teams. Xavi has opted to start Frenkie de Jong, despite the midfielder having only just returned from over a month out with an ankle problem.

Meanwhile, Luis Enrique has handed Marcos Alonso a place in his starting XI, while Warren Zaire-Emery is only on the bench for the tie.
