Luis Enrique:i was worried during 8-0 humiliation


Barcelona coach Luis Enrique feared his side would slip up in La Liga on Saturday, during their 8-0 rout of Cordoba.

"It's true that we are in really good form, but with each new game you have to create the type of chances that help you get those good results," Luis Enrique said.

"Today the result was a big one thanks to the efficiency we had.

"We were all worried about this being one of those uninspired matches. But it wasn't like that.

"The goals from Ivan and Luis [Suarez] helped us to a 2-0 lead at half-time and in the second half the team performed at a high level, creating chances and being very effective.

"I'm happy because we grabbed three key points."

Suarez finished with a hat-trick at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel, while Lionel Messi bagged a brace.

The 44-year-old coach said Barca have set the bar high, heading into their UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

"To arrive in the semi-finals of Champions League with the season we are having reinforces our strength a lot, but we have to back this up in a really difficult knockout tie," he said.
