Luis Enrique: 'Athletic Bilbao are a tough opponent'

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has branded Athletic Bilbao "a tough opponent" following their clash in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.

Enrique's side travelled to San Mames for the first leg of the last-eight match on Wednesday and ran out 2-1 winners courtesy of goals from Munir El Haddadi and Neymar.

The result followed on from Barcelona's 6-0 win when the pair met in La Liga at the weekend.

"I am happy with the result because they are a tough opponent," Enrique told reporters after the match.

The second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final between the two most successful sides in the history of the competition will take place at Camp Nou next week.
