The Barça boss insisted that his team deserved to win at La Rosaleda

He felt they were penalised for making the smallest of errors in the game

Luis Enrique does not feel Barcelona played poorly against Malaga at La Rosaleda. 

The Barça boss did not see any huge differences between the win over Sevilla and that defeat to Malaga. In his press conference looking ahead to Tuesday's Champions League game against Juventus he said "they were both good games." He added that "in the game against Malaga we were superior to the rival." 

Luis Enrique continued: "The result was awful, unfair. We were very much the better team, but in football sometimes for the smallest mistake you can pay a heft price. It’s a game we deserved to win.

"But we can’t go crazy because we’ve lost, nor because we’ve won a game. We look at things differently as professionals. 

It's surprising that 'Lucho' feels the Malaga game was so good, given they lost 2-0 and missed the opportunity to move level with Real Madrid, who had drawn with Atletico Madrid earlier on the same day.
