Luis Enrique later said: "Perfection in football doesn't exist, but I have to say that the first leg was tough – very tough, especially the first 80 minutes.

"After we got that result, we kept up our performance for the whole match today. The second leg was different because we were so precise on the counter, scoring two goals that finished the match.

"It's always difficult to control a match like that, because Chelsea are a great side who want to score quickly. It's always difficult to keep the ball, but the mix of counterattacking and also keeping the ball was key.

"Defending with the ball is always one of our objectives. Our performance was great and we deserved to win.

"Everybody - especially those who compete in the Champions League - respects us because they know how we try to play football.

"The respect that we have and that we feel from other teams is great. It's nice to be in this team – we are looking forward to playing in the next round."
