Enrique said in his introductory press conference. “I was not surprised that Arsenal won the title, especially this season. Their victory was deserved. They were the most consistent and consistent team and despite many difficulties they deserved the title in the end.

He added: “I really admire the team Arteta has built. There is a clear body of work and a clear identity and that makes them a very tough opponent, but this tournament is different.”

“We will be ready for all possible scenarios. We had plenty of time to analyze Arsenal’s strengths and weaknesses in detail. We have some aspects that can be improved, but the most important thing is that we manage the final intelligently.”
