Barcelona coach Enrique: Mission accomplished

Barcelona are into the Champions League final after a 3-2 defeat at Bayern Munich in the second-leg of their semifinal.

Barca win the tie 5-3 on aggregate.

Pep Guardiola's Germans won 3-2 on the night thanks to goals from Mehdi Benatia, Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller, with Neymar's first-half brace ensuring Barca's three unanswered goals were not cancelled out at the Allianz Arena.

Barca coach Luis Enrique told a post-match press conference: "Mission accomplished. Our next objective is to be European champions.

"This result does not bother me because the Bavarians have a strong team.

"We're very content, but now we need to win the final.

"Which team do I want to face in the final? Whichever one deserves it.

"This is a good moment for us but we still have to seal the deal."

When asked if he felt confident in his club's chances of completing a rare treble, the former Barca midfielder added: "We're one win away from winning each of the three competitions.

"That is our mission."
