Barcelona: Barcelona coach Luis Enrique expects the Spanish champions to suffer no after-effects from their shock La Liga defeat to Alaves when Celtic make their Champions League return at the Camp Nou on today.
Enrique was in the firing line after leaving Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez on the bench among seven changes as Barca's 100 percent start to the campaign was ended in stunning fashion by Alaves' first La Liga win in a decade with a 2-1 victory at the Camp Nou on Saturday.
"I would like to never lose," Enrique said yesterday. "This team has had two years (of success) beyond any doubt, but that doesn't mean we can't lose. We will try to change that, but we are not interested in the past.
"The team has reacted well. They are obviously annoyed because we don't like and are not accustomed to losing at home. We have the shortest turnaround you can have between games. The players are rested and desperate to compete and play again at Camp Nou in a competition that excites us."
Barcelona beat Celtic as recently as July 3-1 in a pre-season friendly in Dublin.
