Enrique blasts Luis for "shocking" tackle

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has blasted Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis for the challenge that led to him seeing red in Saturday's La Liga contest.

Luis was given a straight red card in the latter stages of the first period for a wild, studs-up challenge on Lionel Messi.

Enrique immediately rose to his feet when contact was made and the Spaniard pulled no punches when questioned on the incident.

"You all saw my reaction, it was shocking," Enrique, whose team are now unbeaten in their last 26 games in all competitions, told reporters.

La Liga leaders Barcelona recorded all the points courtesy of a 2-1 win over Atletico, who finished with nine men after Diego Godin was also sent off at Camp Nou.
