Luis Enrique: 'Players enjoyed Celtic match'

Enrique: 'Players enjoyed Celtic match'

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has said that his players "enjoyed it on the pitch" during Tuesday night's 7-0 win over Celtic in the Champions League.

The Catalan giants suffered a shock home defeat to Alaves in La Liga at the weekend, but returned to winning ways in style as they opened their Group C campaign with a thumping victory against the Scottish champions.

Enrique also paid tribute to Luis Suarez and Andres Iniesta, who added their names to the scoresheet in the second half of the European tie.

"The players enjoyed it on the pitch, the fans in the stands. It was a great night," Enrique told reporters.

"We were convinced that [Suarez] would end up scoring. He has unlimited credit for us and scored two beastly goals. [Iniesta] is a unique and unrepeatable player. He has no physical needs because his quality and football vision allows him to play at another level."

Barcelona will look to return to winning ways in the league when they travel to newly-promoted Leganes this weekend.
