“Germany are a team that always plays on the attack,” Luis Enrique told a press conference on Saturday.
“That they need a result could have an impact, but they always try to keep the ball, press, they’re the team that plays most like Spain in the sense they want to control and dominate the game.
“It means that for us it’s a beautiful challenge, we have the same objectives, so I think it will be an open game.”
