Despite Paris Saint-Germain 's draw against Athletic Club at San Mamés on Wednesday night in the Champions League, Luis Enrique was keen to praise the performance of the Spanish goalkeeper, whom he knew from his time as manager of the Spanish national team: "You want to know what I told him? 'You won't be coming back to the team with me.' I'm really happy for him, he's an undisputed goalkeeper, the best in the league in my eyes, without a doubt. I'm very happy for him, but also sad, because I think we deserved to win. We struggled in the first half, their pressing was incredible, the atmosphere was electric. We were better in the second half, we just lacked the ability to find the best teammate in certain situations. We have two matches left, against the more manageable teams in our group, those from Pot 4."
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique also emphasized Unai Simón's merit and talent, according to Marca : "I have a lot of affection for Unai. I've faced a lot of criticism about him, but I started him. He deserves it; he's a fantastic guy and a spectacular footballer. We took a risk with him, and he's a goalkeeper who could play for any team in the world." With these words, the coach highlighted his former Spanish goalkeeper, the true hero of the match, despite the 0-0 draw .
