Lucas Digne denies similarity between Barcelona and Luis Enrique tactics
Summary

Paris Saint-Germain defender Lucas Digne has dismissed comparisons between the current Barcelona attacking system and the tactical approach utilized by Luis Enrique. Despite observations regarding fluid movement among front-line players at both clubs, Digne maintained that Enrique constantly adapts his methods rather than repeating past structures. The French international previously worked under the Spanish coach during his time at Barcelona from 2016 to 2018. Digne emphasized that the tactical requirements at Paris Saint-Germain differ significantly from the ongoing development of Hansi Flick’s squad at Barcelona. The comments arrive ahead of a scheduled UEFA Champions League fixture between the two clubs. PSG currently holds the European title and is focused on defending the trophy this season.
