After some particularly strong questions from Grau, Enrique turned on the reporter, according to Spanish news outfitMarca, claiming:"The press doesn't watch matches very closely. We switched from a 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1 so Messi could get on the ball more, but it ended up like this all the same.


''If you have to point fingers and single someone out, that is me as coach, since these are the same players that win on other days."

Enrique was keen to take the responsibility away from his players, stating that it was his choice in tactics that was behind their disastrous defeat on Tuesday night in Paris.


The Barcelona coach's reaction came after watching his side lose 4-0 to a dominant PSG side in the last-16 of the Champions League. Barca will need to score five and keep a clean sheet if they want to stand any chance of progressing to the latter stages.

When pressed further regarding the nature of the defeat, Enrique said the following:


"It's simple, the opponent has been superior with the ball and without the ball. They have won the duels, they have been more effective and the result clearly reflects what happened on the pitch. I do not think I have to explain much.


"PSG have done what we expected and been at their best. But I do not lose hope, we have to score five goals."
