Barcelona Receive Strong Message From Atalanta Manager About PSG

)

Now that the Atalanta game is behind them, PSG will focus on Barcelona. Luis Enrique and his team will travel to Spain for what is going to be the marquee matchup of Matchday 2, considering these two clubs nearly faced each other in the Champions League final last season.

Nonetheless, ahead of that matchup, Atalanta manager Ivan Juric sent a warning to the Spanish club and all those on the Parisians’ Champions League league phase schedule of what to expect from the treble winners from last season.

“The difference was huge,” Juric told Sky Italia. “They are on a much higher level than us (…) Should we have been more cautious? We studied PSG’s games closely. The teams that tried that didn’t even give themselves a chance and ended up losing even worse.

“The only teams that really hurt Paris were Strasbourg and Lens, teams that tried to win the ball back quickly and counter fast. We chose that approach.”
