Luis Enrique: 'Game not about Pep Guardiola'

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique comments on the strength of Bayern Munich ahead of the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has taken the focus away from Pep Guardiola ahead of tonight's Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich.

Guardiola, who is now boss of Bayern, has been one of the main talking points ahead of the match as he prepares to return to Barcelona, whom he represented as a player before taking charge of the first team.

However, Enrique has insisted that the clash is about the two teams and not the managers.

"We're not looking at this game as how to beat Pep but how to beat one of Europe's great teams in Bayern Munich," Enrique told reporters.

"I've been following Bayern and knowing Pep as I do he could have a surprise or two up his sleeve, but we've been overcoming obstacles our rivals have put in our way all season so we'll be trying to do the same thing."

The second leg in Germany will take place next Tuesday.
