- He said most people enjoyed the game and added that he is one of those who liked it.
- Enrique praised the level of both teams and their forwards and argued that a high score does not prove poor defending.
- He insisted PSG and Bayern remain among the best defensive sides and called Bayern the strongest opponent he has faced with PSG.
