There are some moments in football, like Alessandro Florenzi’s remarkable goal for Roma against Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday, which seem completely unpreventable. But Blaugrana boss Luis Enrique has suggested it’s his fault the Italian scored such a sensational strike in the 1-1 draw.
Florenzi picked the ball up just inside his own half on the sideline, looked up and looped a sumptuous shot over Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to equalise for the Giallorossi. The German stopper may have been a little far off his line, but Enrique insisted that was by his instruction and has suggested Florenzi was fortunate to score, per Dermot Corrigan of ESPN FC:
[Florenzi] is a good player, but he has been very lucky.
