Luis Enrique congratulated his Barcelona players after they sealed Champions League progress from "a tough group" with a 2-0 win over Celtic on Wednesday.

"It was quite a hard game," said Luis Enrique after his side won 2-0 against Celtic in their Champions League clash.

"We expected Celtic to press high. We were good at the break and improved as the game went on. It was a very difficult group and it was great to finish first with a game to spare. In one of the toughest groups, we have come top. I have to congratulate the team," he told reporters.

He added: "In the first half I can't remember Celtic having a clear chance and Messi as usual was at a really high level. It was just the last five to 10 minutes there was an issue with regards to the crowd shouting," he added. "But the crowd were great, this is a great place to play. It was just handbags with a Celtic player".
