Luis Enrique has "great faith" in Barcelona players ahead of Champions League clash

Luis Enrique insists that he has complete belief in his players ahead of tomorrow's Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique has given his full backing to his players ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Spanish rivals Atletico Madrid.

The Catalan giants head into the clash on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in Saturday night's El Clasico.

The result ended Barcelona's 39-game unbeaten run, but Enrique has no concerns about the dedication of his players.

"They are competitive and totally reliable," Enrique told reporters. "They are unique. We will compete to the maximum, for sure. I do not know if we will win or not, but the team is good enough to continue to be the same team we've seen in recent months.

"I have great faith in my players and in the path they've taken to win titles for Barca."

Barcelona have beaten Atletico 2-1 both home and away in La Liga this season.
