The day the Camp Nou became a cauldron, according to Luis Enrique

In an interview with the Televisió de Catalunya program dedicated to the fifth chapter of the series “No Clam”, Luis Enrique, current coach of PSG and former player, captain and coach of Barcelona

remembers the day Luis Figo returned to the Camp Nou in a Real Madrid shirt and confirms it on that day”Camp Nou was scary“

The Asturian trainer explains that “the most atmospheric match I experienced at Camp Nou and I played for 8 yearsIt was the day of Figo’s return. Figo was a brother to us, but a real brother, he was our best player who went to Madrid.” And he remembers what his impressions were on the day he returned to play in the Classic in the 2000-2001 season: “Camp Nou is a stadium where you arrive half an hour early, and it’s half empty

When you go out to warm up, there are not many people,” he explains.

But on that day, October 21, 2000, on the sixth day of the 2000–01 Leaguethat was a different story. “Forty-five minutes before the start it was full, while warming up, we didn’t hear each other. I remember commenting on “Pita”, I think Pep was there too:It’s impossible for us to lose, impossible. No matter who plays in the Barça shirt, we cannot lose.” There was an energy that was even frightening.”

He also remembers the details of the game: “Figo was marked “Puyi”, a very young “Puyi”.

but it was Puyi’s beast. Figo was the best in Madrid, despite pressure I never imagined. I said, ‘What is this?’ and we won the game because it was impossible not to win it.”
