VALENCIA 2-3 BARCELONA | LUIS ENRIQUE
“Everyone saw the move which led to Iniesta's injury”
Luis Enrique said this afternoon's Valencia-Barça "lived up to the tradition of this fixture" and added that his team "showed that they are alive and ready to overcome adversity".
Luis Enrique was elated with his team's late victory at Mestalla but lamented the injury to Andrés Iniesta who could face a while out with a knee ligament injury.
Late retaliation: “That we have come away with a win says a lot about the spirit and character this team possesses. The team has faith, belief in itself, a desire to win and the objective is to try to win without suffering sio much”.
Bottles launched from the stands at the end: “I am not here to give an opion on what others should do. We celebrated a goal like we have to celebrate against a rival who always make things difficult”.
Didf you see the move in which Iniesta was injured? “I think I explained myself perfectly a few moments ago. We saw everything very clearly, as it happened close to us; we saw a player get injured and no yelllow card. Tomorrow we'll know a little more about the severity of the injury but's going to be a long one, several weeks at least. It's a serious injury”.
Possible offside in the opening goal: “You know where I watch the game from. I can see what happens 10 or 20 metres from where I'm sat but I can't judge those kinds of moves. All of us can look at things from our own viewpoint”.
