"Barcelona" coach Luis Enrique believes that his players will succeed in defending the "La Liga" champions title.
"It will be a long season and everything depends on the consistency of the results. Of course, starting with a victory is always good," - said the coach before the match against "Athletic" Bilbao.
"We are champions and we will have to defend this title. We are favorites, just like last year Madrid "Atletico". Throughout the season, everything can change.
In the championship, there will be no shortage of tough matches, and three or four teams will have a chance to win it.
We are in good athletic shape and ready to compete. Our goal is to demonstrate good level football and fight for trophies," said the coach.
