Luis Enrique: We Can’t Stop Messi Without a Collective Effort
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Paris Saint Germain (PSG) will face Inter Miami tonight in the highly anticipated Club World Cup match. PSG coach Luis Enrique, who previously managed Lionel Messi at Barcelona, shared insights about how to stop Messi.

During a pre-match interview, Luis Enrique said Messi remains the greatest player to grace the sport of football.

He described Messi’s consistency as unbelievable, noting his unmatched brilliance over 10–15 years at the top level globally.

Luis Enrique stop Messi strategy centers around teamwork, not isolating a single defender against the legendary Argentine forward.

He explained that defending Messi individually would be suicidal because he can easily dribble past any single opponent.

Luis Enrique stop Messi tactic involves pressing as a unit, moving the ball quickly, and denying him creative space.

He added that PSG players must be fully focused, disciplined, and prepared for Messi’s unpredictable style of play.

According to him, Messi has shown things in training that prove he belongs to an entirely different category altogether.

The PSG boss acknowledged that his past experience with Messi doesn’t necessarily give him an advantage on the pitch.

Luis Enrique stop Messi plan is more psychological—instilling belief in his squad that Messi is stoppable with structure.

He emphasized that PSG must defend, attack, and recover possession as one, ensuring no weak links emerge tonight.

Messi, now leading Inter Miami, has continued to impress with his playmaking, vision, and sharp finishing in tight spaces.

As the match draws near, fans eagerly await to see whether PSG can successfully neutralize Messi’s attacking threat.

This game promises world-class action, with both teams fielding stars, but all eyes will be on Messi’s brilliance.

Luis Enrique knows stopping Messi demands unity, not heroics—and that collective effort may be PSG’s best chance tonight.
