Enrique: Barcelona could have finished Man City much earlier if not for Hart

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique felt his side created a plethora of chances in their Champions League win over Manchester City.

The Catalan giants defeated City 1-0 in the Round of 16 second leg at Camp Nou on Wednesday night to progress to the quarter-finals 3-1 on aggregate but it could have been a much more comfortable result if Joe Hart hadn't have pulled off a number of quality saves.

Of the win, Enrique said: "We had an incredible number of chances, which isn't normal in this type of game.

"Perhaps we lacked a little bit of precision, but we also can't take away the credit from Hart. We deserved to win much more comfortably given the chances we had.

"I expected City as they played. It was a game with a lot of chances where we could have finished it off a lot earlier."
