adminPARIS. — Barcelona coach Luis Enrique was delighted to have ended PSG’s unbeaten run in all competitions this season despite being forced to adopt a new system in a landmark Champions League triumph for the Catalans.Former Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic put the French side ahead after 15 minutes on Wednesday before the home side turned the Group F decider around with goals from Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez.
The victory ensured that Barca topped the standings on 15 points, two ahead of PSG, and set a new record of 13 group wins in the competition, one more than arch rivals Real Madrid.
It was still scrappy at times from Barca, though, who began with an unfamiliar three-man defence and PSG had a number of chances to add more goals, especially in the second half before Suarez struck on 77 minutes to seal victory for the hosts.
“Was the new system a risk? Well it depends on the result, whatever happens whether it is good or bad depends on the result,” Luis Enrique told reporters. — Sky Sports.
