Luis Enrique on Champions League draw & Malaga task

Luis Enrique on Champions League draw & Malaga task

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique spoke to the press on Friday about the Champions League draw and this weekend's clash with Malaga. 

Champions League draw: It's a competition that excites, with difficult rivals. It's a tricky group, like all of them, but an attractive one. 

Easy for Barça to get through? Of the three away trips, one is a long one. It's a tough group, no doubt, even if it's not as hard as Sevilla's. Roma were one of the strongest teams in pot three, Leverkusen nearly eliminated Atletico [last season]...

Return to Roma: It will be special because of how I was treated by the club and the players. We played them in the Gamper, but that doesn't mean a great deal. 

Recognition from UEFA: That was positive, the result of hard work last season by the players. I hope that next year, when the Champions League draw comes around, it will be the same, with Barça players getting all the awards. 

Cristiano Ronaldo's two votes: I'm not here to talk about differences, you already know who I consider the best. 

Malaga: In our first home game we will see if we can get past the problems that we had last season, which will no doubt be the case on Saturday. We weren't capable of winning against Malaga last season and we were kept a long way from goal. We lacked fluidity and we did not deserve a positive result. Let's see if we are capable of creating chances and being more effective on Saturday. 

Neymar and Busquets: Both Neymar and Sergio have looked really good [in training]," he explained in his pre-game press conference on Friday afternoon. We will evaluate the situation and then decide [if they will play from the start]. Neymar didn't train for around two weeks, but he has a really special physique and he gets in shape quickly. He could play [against Malaga].

Sergi Roberto: When a player plays in one position, it's difficult to control everything around you, so imagine if you play in various positions. He's a central midfielder, but at the moment he's the perfect wildcard for me. As a pivot, a great level, an interior, a great level, a full-back, a great level... He has to keep improving, but he has the capacity to do that and to continue giving good performances.  

Happy for Sporting: I was really happy with their result [against Real Madrid], although I would have preferred a win.

Luis Suarez: He was going through a difficult spell when he signed because of the sanction, but he is a key player for us now. He gives a lot on an offensive level, is the first to initiate pressure and is key to the club, with room to improve. I hope that he continues helping the team and presenting numbers which are worthy of a special player. 

Bolt-Messi: Usain Bolt is the best sprinter of all time and Leo Messi is the best footballer of all time, it's a good comparison
