Barcelona Boss Flick Calls PSG 'Best Team In The World' Ahead Of Champions League Clash Amid Paris Riots

France: Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has called Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) the "best team in the world" ahead of their Champions League showdown in Paris on Tuesday. The match is set to proceed despite violent riots and looting across France over the weekend.

Both teams are also aiming to maintain their perfect starts to the competition. Footage shows Barcelona players, including teenage star Lamine Yamal, training at the Parc des Princes on Monday.

Flick and midfielder Pedri also spoke to reporters before the match. Flick Praises PSG And Luis Enrique Barcelona, five-time European champions, face a PSG side chasing a third consecutive Champions League title.

Flick described the match as an opportunity for Barcelona to measure their level against one of the strongest teams in the competition. "Tomorrow will be a good test again for us," he said, calling PSG the "best team in the world".

The German coach also praised PSG manager Luis Enrique, who led Barcelona to their last Champions League triumph in 2015. Flick said Enrique had won two Champions League titles in a row and praised his team's style of play.

He also described the Spaniard as an excellent coach and one of the best in the world. Pedri Backs Yamal To Make An Impact Pedri backed teammate Yamal to make a difference in the high-profile clash.

However, he warned against comparing the young winger with Lionel Messi, widely regarded as one of football's greatest players. Pedri said Yamal could have a major impact but should focus on his own qualities rather than measuring himself against another player.

Match To Proceed Despite Paris Unrest The Champions League fixture will go ahead despite serious unrest in France. Protests over living costs and education conditions have been followed by violence, looting and thousands of arrests.

French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu confirmed on Monday that the match would not be postponed. Additional security measures are planned around the stadium.
