Barcelona midfielder Busquets on PSG thrashing: Emery's tactics better than ours

Barcelona midfielder Sergi Busquets was critical of coach Luis Enrique after their thrashing by PSG.

PSG thumped Barca 4-0 in their Champions League clash.

Busquets suggested that Unai Emery got the better of Luis Enrique: "Paris Saint-Germain were better than us during many phases of the game. Their planning tactically was better than ours.

"It's not about attitude, but football. They've pressed more and were better tactically. They knew how to make a plan and follow it out when they wanted. Maybe the result was a little strong.

"We were imagining something else. We prepared for the game differently."

As for the second leg, Busquets wasn't able to talk up a comeback too much: "We will try to turn things around at Camp Nou, even though we know it will be really tough.

"After today it's not the best way for [the fans] to have faith in us. But we've always tried. It's really difficult, I won't lie, but we will try."
