Luis Enrique: 'Job done for group winners Barcelona'

Enrique: 'Job done for Barcelona'

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has declared himself pleased with his side's performance in last night's 3-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Catalan giants fell a goal behind in the 15th minute when Zlatan Ibrahimovic struck against his form club, before forward trio Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez turned the game on its head.

Victory for Barcelona ensured that they finished two points ahead of PSG in Group F to secure a top seeding ahead of next week's draw for the last 16.

"Our objective was to win the group, and I think we played a serious match," FourFourTwo quotes Enrique as saying. "We were at a good level and we achieved our objective.

"This is a sport that is dictated by results. Given the players we've got we always look to play a formation that will do harm to the opponents, and today we had to play to win, looking for space for Messi and Neymar. "The first half was back to basics, and thanks to our goals we got in front and were able to go into the rest of the game more relaxed."

Next up for Barcelona is a trip to face Getafe in La Liga.
