Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique has said that London club Chelsea and La Liga giants Barcelona have been ‘incredible’ in this season’s UEFA Champions League (UCL) so far.

​He made the admission while speaking with Movistar after his team’s 2-2 draw against Monaco in the UCL Round of 16 play-off second-leg tie on Wednesday night.
