Enrique hails "very good performance"

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has hailed his team following Sunday's 2-0 victory over Sevilla in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup.

Second-half goals from Luis Suarez and Munir El Haddadi have placed the Spanish champions in firm control of the tie ahead of the second leg at Camp Nou on Wednesday night.

Enrique insists that the job is not yet completed, but says that his side are now "on track" to claim their first trophy of the 2016-17 campaign.

"It was a very good performance, given our opponents and the circumstances. We had a very good first half and were even better in the second. It's a very good, though not definitive, result, but we're on track for the trophy," Enrique told reporters.

"I liked everything [about the team]. There were times in the first half where we had to stand near our box. The starters did very well, but also those who came in. We need all our players because we'll be playing every three days."

Barcelona will begin their La Liga title defence at home to Real Betis this weekend.
