Luis Enrique warns not to write-off Barcelona in Super Cup

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique insists they can overcome a 4-0 deficit and win the Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao.

Bilbao travel to the Nou Camp tonight for the second-leg.

"We know it's a challenge, but I think we have a team who can do this," the Barcelona coach told a press conference.

"If we do things well we have every possibility. If we get things right, I am sure we can turn things around.

"If you look at the statistics, last year there were 18 matches where we scored four or more goals.

"Sometimes the other team scored, but it shows that we are capable of doing that.

"Everyone knows Barcelona is capable of anything.

"It was so surprising to suffer such a heavy defeat, but then you get back into training, we analysed what happened, how it happened, looked at possible solutions, looked at games we won by a huge margin last year and that changes the face on the players and the coaches and gets us thinking we can turn this around.

"But we also know we will have to play very, very well and get every aspect of our game right.

"If we don't keep a clean sheet we will have to score six."
