Luis Enrique: 'Still work for Barcelona to do in order to progress'

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has insisted that his side will not sacrifice their attacking approach in the second leg of their Copa del Rey quarter-final meeting against Atletico Madrid.

The Catalan giants recorded a 1-0 victory in last night's first leg courtesy of Lionel Messi's goal five minutes from time at Camp Nou.

A goalless draw would be enough to see Barcelona progress in next week's return tie, although Enrique will not allow his side to sit back for 90 minutes.

"I see the result as very positive," he is quoted as saying by Goal.com. "We knew we had to be very compact and I didn't anticipate a different match because Atletico are a team that defend really well, are very aggressive, very well prepared and that attack you well on dead balls.

"But with very good circulation of the ball and a very good defensive game, we managed to win. I'm very happy with the result, which is fair and allows us to prepare the return with optimism, in the same way we have this one and looking for the victory, although I would like to have won 5-0!

"The return leg will be very stimulating and we will go there with the idea of creating many chances and not letting our rival create many."

Barcelona return to league action at the weekend when they take on Elche.
