Luis Enrique: Barcelona could have lost

Luis Enrique acknowledged Barcelona could have been beaten by Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga on Saturday.

The Catalan giants let a 2-0 lead slip at home to Victor Sanchez's side, with Lucas Perez's 77th-minute strike added to by Alex Bergantinos with four minutes remaining as the Galician outfit earned a draw.

Barca let a late equalizer slip against Valencia last weekend and, and coach Luis Enrique thought his side could even have lost.

"There aren't similarities between the Mestalla and today," Luis Enrique said. "In Valencia we were infinitely better, but today, with a little more bad luck, we could even have lost.

We maybe had difficulties in the first half, but in the second there were chances to score.

"We controlled the game until the 72nd minute, when we made several mistakes. The first goal made the opponent braver. Munir [El Haddadi] had a clear opportunity that would have closed the game, but he failed."
