'I've been attacked, vilified & ignored' - Luis Enrique sends out strong message to his critics ahead of PSG's clash with Lyon

Luis Enrique's PSG overturned a one-goal deficit from the first leg to beat Barcelona 6-4 on aggregate to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals in midweek. As the French giants now gear up to take on rivals Lyon in a Ligue 1 clash on Sunday, the Spanish coach has hit out at his critics for attacking him on multiple ocassions in the past.

Ahead of facing Lyon, Luis Enrique addressed the media in a pre-match press conference where he said, "It’s not that I read little (the press), it’s zero. I've been a coach for over 10 years, I've been attacked, vilified, ignored or criticized. It's not a problem, I like it."

Les Parisiens have already won the French Super Cup title beating Toulouse in the final. They are currently leading the Ligue 1 title race by 10 points with only six games to go in the season. Luis Enrique's side have also reached the final of the Coupe de France where they will take on Lyon on May 25. In the Champions League last-four stage, the club will face Borussia Dortmund.

If the reigning champions manage to beat Lyon on Sunday, they will need one more victory against Lorient on April 24 to seal yet another league title.
