“They got two goals and then they defended in a very tough way and deserved the victory.

“I know the intensity of their team, how they play on the ball and off the ball, and that they are at a very high level. No doubt that they are a top team. We knew the standards that they have.”

On conceding the second goal from a free kick, Enrique said: “That happens in football.

“We have to accept that we were losing almost every single duel against a team like Arsenal, so aggressive in their pressure, if you don’t win the duels you suffer. Ok we try to go home and think about the next match.”
