Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has paid tribute to head coach Luis Enrique, who led the Spanish side into the final of the Champions League on Tuesday.
Barca were beaten 3-2 by Bayern Munich in the second leg of their semi-final, but advanced into the final on June 6 courtesy of a 5-3 aggregate score.
"It was a really hard game. We are really happy and now we want to win it," Rakitic told ITV Sport immediately after the match.
"Our coach is really important. Every coach has different ideas and I want to give him a lot of thanks from our team. It was perfect work from everyone."
Barcelona will face either Real Madrid or Juventus, who play the second leg of their semi-final on Wednesday, in the final in Berlin.
