Enrique delighted with Barcelona win over Real Sociedad

Barcelona enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 win over Real Sociedad last night.

Luis Enrique's side could not offer the same barnstorming performance that saw them romp to victory over Bayern Munich on Wednesday as David Moyes' side produced another impressive defensive display against the Catalans, but their resistance wilted after the break.

With Real Madrid only managing to draw against Valencia later in the evening, Barca need to win just one of their remaining two matches against Atletico Madrid or Deportivo La Coruna and a 23rd title will be theirs.

Neymar and Pedro struck the goals for Barca.

"We knew the difficulty of the game. We played a very good first half and we created chances. The second half was intense, we wore them down a bit and increased our chances of winning," said Enrique.

"We played well in a game in which our rivals defended well. It was a complete game and we earned it.

"I don't think the game was ever in jeopardy. We were good physically."
