Barcelona Luis Enrique is all set for a very special game

Luis Enrique has admitted that his return to El Molinón, this time as a coach, will be very special for him, but that he will not let emotion get in the way of his preparations for the game as he tries to take all three points from Barça's trip to Gijon.

"If our run has to come to an end, then let it be at El Molinón. I hope that it doesn't because I'd like to go another one hundred games undefeated".

"I haven't found it hard to prepare for this. I've been in the game for a long time. I left Gijon years ago and I consider myself a hometown boy, but I'm the head coach at Barcelona. Gijon may be my home, but this is my job".

Will you celebrate any goals your team scores?

"I hadn't really thought about it but I don't think it's important. I'll do whatever I feel on the night".

Will a win at El Molinón decide the league title?

"I feel that a win there would be a great step toward our goal but it won't decide the league".

Is having a friend out on the pitch fundamental?

"Not just out on the pitch, in the hotel, when you go out for dinner... That's the ideal scenario but it's hard because you can't be everyone's friend. However, the ideal scenario is to have a friendship that you can take with you out on the pitch. You can see just how much they enjoy themselves out there."

On Alba's absence

"Sergi Roberto won't be there either. That's the squad. It's a good squad and we've decided to leave those five players out of it".

On a lack of respect

"I don't know where the line is drawn between respect and disrespect".
