The Catalans beat the Premier League champions 1-0 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate to move into the last eight of the Champions League, with Ivan Rakitic scoring the only goal of the second-leg clash at Camp Nou, though the scoreline did little to reflect Barca's dominance.
“We expected the City we saw,” Enrique told reporters. “It was a game with a lot of chances, and we achieved our objective, which was to win the game and get through to the quarters.”
Barca's next assignment is Sunday’s crunch Liga clash with Real, on which Enrique added: “We had some good chances tonight, and go into Sunday's game with Real Madrid in good shape.”
Barca head into the weekend encounter a point ahead of their arch-rivals with 11 games to go but Enrique played down talk of it being a decisive game in the title race.
“La Liga will not be decided after the Clasico,” he said. “In a game of this nature, you cannot tell who is the favourite.”
