"We performed very well against one of the best teams in the world, and had the game in the first 80 minutes," Frank said in an interview with TNT Sports. "The team's adaptability and pragmatism are very good. The defense is almost perfect in high-pressure or low-pressure, and the set-piece is also very threatening. Penalty battles are like to tossing a coin, and the outcome is unpredictable, but there is a lot to be happy about the club and the fans."

This victory also made Paris coach Enrique recognised again, Spanish Six reporter Marçal Lorente Posted on social media, praise: "I am happy for all the achievements Enrique has achieved. He is an outstanding coach who can convince star players to serve the collective interests and does a great job in the face of a bad media environment in Barcelona."

But as Enrique said, the team will continue to improve; and Dembele's declaration of "collecting more trophys" may indicate that this team will remain a strong contender for championships in all competitions in the new season.
