Luis Enrique: We deserved to beat Villarreal

Luis Enrique believes Barcelona did enough to beat Villarreal in their 1-1 LaLiga draw on Sunday.

Barca were left to rely on a 90th-minute Lionel Messi free-kick to take a share of the spoils at the renamed Estadio de la Ceramica, with Nicola Sansone having earlier opened the scoring.

The visitors saw two penalty shouts turned down during a frantic period of the second half in which the home side also had calls for a spot-kick waved away.

And Luis Enrique, whose side were beaten 2-1 by Athletic Bilbao in their opening match of 2017, was disappointed not to come away with maximum points.
