Following the 2-1 victory over Marseille, Luis Enrique expressed his satisfaction with winning "Le Classique," sharing his joy that the team was able to delight the fans.

"It was tough in the opening minutes; we tried to control the game. We didn't create many chances. They defended very well. It was complicated. We started the second half brilliantly and created many opportunities. We scored, but conceded an equalizer very quickly. Ultimately, we gave our fans a beautiful moment," Enrique began.

During the press conference, the coach was asked what he told his players in the locker room at halftime, as they displayed two completely different performances.

"I don't remember. The difference is that in the first half, Olympique Marseille put in a tremendous defensive effort. When you play against a team like ours, you expend a lot of energy. Afterwards, more spaces opened up, and we deservedly won," Enrique stated.

He was also questioned about Ferran Torres, who continues to justify every euro of his transfer fee to the European club champions, having scored the opening goal of the match.

"I am particularly pleased with all the players we've brought in. They bring us very important elements to continue growing. Ferran Torres is in incredible form; he's exceptionally strong in the center of the attack, constantly seeking out open spaces. When you have midfielders like Viti, Beraldo, Fabian, Neves, Warren with such passing ability... Torres is in a very good period, and we are very happy to have him," Enrique shared.
