Luis Enrique has revealed that he was "satisfied" with Barcelona's performance after his side drew 0-0 with semi-professional Villanovense in their first-leg tie in the Copa del Rey.

The make-shift squad was absent of many big names that the Catalan side can usually offer, with the likes of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Andres Iniesta all left out of the squad.

The team featured a young attacking front three and an experienced back four, which Enrique is refusing to criticise after the stalemate at the Estadio Romero Cuerda.

"It was a tough game, in which we had control but suffered during set pieces," the Barcelona manager said, according to Goal.com.

"We have not created chances, but the team played with the right attitude and so I'm satisfied with what I've seen."

The second-leg will take place on December 2 at Camp Nou.
