Eibar – Barcelona live

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique spoke in a press conference ahead of his side's visit to Eibar on Sunday evening (20:45 CET).

Which player in your squad is most like Iniesta?

"No one. Neither from the squad nor in world football. That's the problem. I have good players in that position but nobody is like Iniesta."

Iniesta's injuries

 "He's played six games because as soon as I can rest him I try to do it. He'll be back soon. We do that with Andrés and the other players. Football is a contact sport and sometimes injuries are part of it".

Eibar

“I'm expecting a side that is going to put us under pressure, which is what Mendilibar has said ”.

Current form

"I've been really happy with our performances after the winter break. Hopefully we can keep it up".

A winning dynamic

"We've been looking to find a certain dynamic for a while, and hopefully it will enable us to put pressure on the teams above us".

Will you have to win at the Bernabéu to win the league?

"We have a game tomorrow... Do you mean that we'll be champions if we lose the other 18 games and win at the Bernabéu? I don't think so".
