Luis Enrique believes that "if anyone deserves the Champions League, it's Real Madrid"

Luis Enrique Martinez, Spain coach, said in the week of the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool in Paris that "if anyone deserves to win this Champions League" it is Real Madrid.

A question surprised Luis Enrique when he spoke to the media at the Spanish training complex in Las Rozas, where he was explaining the squad for the first four matches of the third edition of the Nations League.

The Spain coach, a former Real Madrid and Barcelona player among other teams, was asked about his preferences for the Real Madrid-Liverpool final in Paris. He smiled, kept silent for a few seconds thinking about his answer and commented: "No answer I can give will be to everyone's liking and I like to please everyone," he said.

As he replied, Luis Enrique thought about his position and ended up opting for Real Madrid on sporting merit in a Champions League in which they eliminated PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City on their way to the final. "As I like to be fair, if anyone deserves to win this Champions League it's Real Madrid," he said.
