Luis Enrique hails Sergi Roberto

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has paid tribute to the performance of Sergi Roberto in Saturday's 4-0 win over Real Madrid in El Clasico.

Roberto's tenacity and energy set up his team's first of the match at the Bernabeu, while he played a key role throughout the contest.

The Spaniard has gone from squad player to first-team regular in recent weeks and Enrique has said that the 23-year-old "can become a great player".

"[Sergi Roberto's] the wildcard of the team. He can play in any position, doesn't lose the ball, has quality, drive, good movement and physicality. He can become a great player. He perfectly understood what was asked of him, always finding space," Enrique told reporters.

Roberto joined the Barcelona youth system in 2006 and represented the B side between 2009 and 2013.
