Luis Enrique: 'We punished Manchester City mistakes'

By Matt Law, Football Editor | 20 October 2016

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique says that his team 'took advantage' of Manchester City's mistakes during Wednesday's Champions League clash at Camp Nou.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has called Wednesday's Champions League clash with Manchester City "a game of errors", but hailed his team for taking advantage of the away side's mistakes.

Despite frustrating Barcelona for long spells, Man City suffered a 4-0 defeat in a match that saw both teams finish with 10 men - Claudio Bravo seeing red for Man City before Jeremy Mathieu was sent off for the Spanish outfit.

"There have been serious errors [from City] in the game and that is always a plus. Taking advantage of those mistakes is key and we've taken advantage of them," Enrique told reporters.

"This is a game of errors. It has not been easy because of the quality and positioning of the City players is there. The golden ages of [Barcelona] have come when they have balanced defensive and offensive sections to be effective."

Barcelona have now won all five of their European meetings with Man City.
