Luis Enrique: 'The team was focused on winning'

LUIS ENRIQUE

"It was a very tough match. Very tough. It's a ground we know well, and we know how hard it is to win here. I think the team played very well, very disciplined and focused from the start, trying to win but also control the match. And I think we did both.

"Donnarumma's saves? Obviously the penalty save kept us in the game and allowed us to build our confidence and get control of a match in which we could have scored earlier than we did. We also knew we had to play just as well in the second half and score another goal, because otherwise Lens could score at any moment.
"Barcola's match? He was a nightmare for the opposition throughout. He was very good, he got in behind, down the wing, he created chances, he was fouled for the sending off and he scored a goal. Today was perhaps one of his best games and we hope he continues to play at this level and gets even better."

"We knew it was important to win this match today. We'd seen the other results this weekend and we knew we could move 8 points clear. So it was really important to win, especially in a match like this, it's really good.
"My performance? I'm feeling more and more at home. I have the confidence of my team-mates and the coach, so I can't help but feel good and play well."
