Barcelona Coach Luis Enrique says Juventus ‘have great qualities’ and isn’t focusing solely on Andrea Pirlo.

The former Roma boss will face off against the Old Lady in the Champions League final in four days time, and spoke about the game at the Blaugrana’s media day.

“The Bianconeri have had a great season,” Enrique told reporters.

“We know them well, and we already know that they have great qualities.

“I’m concerned about all of the Juve players, they have a strong team, with big players. They have a lot of quality players, not just Pirlo.

“Are we favourites? We have to show that we’re favourites, it’s only when it’s time to play the match that you’ll see who is the favourite.”

However, Enrique does believe that greater Champions League experience could help his side.

“We’ll do what we’ve always done. The players have already played in Champions League finals and know how to approach them.

“I went to the final in 2006 [against Arsenal] as a fan, and it was really beautiful, a great memory.

“Our fans will support us, it’s a support which never gives up. They’re the best.”
