Post-Match comments: Real Madrid CF vs FC Barcelona

Luis Enrique praises the team’s superb performance but the players are aware that the season is still long.

Luis Enrique: “Andrés Iniesta is world heritage, not just Barcelona’s. We can enjoy a unique player, with eyes on his back and with quality at the team’s service. I understand they [Real Madrid fans] applauded him.”

“This [victory] tastes like blessed glory. To win like this facing such great players is difficult. We have looked for what we aimed during the entire match

“I haven’t watched a worn-out Real Madrid at any point. But we have performed at a higher level and have created superiority in the zones of the field. We have created many scoring chances, we have taken advantage of them and we have been very effective. The match is more about Barcelona’s merits than Real Madrid’s wrongdoings.”

“Our purpose is the one we currently have, which is to win the maximum numbers of matches regardless of the players that may arrive in January. This is a squad that has won the treble last season and they’re one of the best squads.”

“During the past week and analyzing if we could use Leo or Rakitic, we had several options. The relationship with the players has been easy, and we decided he [Messi] would play the second half of such an important match after a long injury. Leo understood it this way.”

“Sergi Roberto is our wildcard. He can play as a full back and on midfield. You have watched the game he did performing as a right winger today. He doesn’t lose the ball, he has accuracy and stamina and many other key features to become a great player.
