Barcelona boss Luis Enrique believes that Wednesday night's Champions League match at Celtic will be tougher than the 7-0 win over the Hoops earlier in the season.
Enrique: 'Celtic will test Barcelona'

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has claimed that Wednesday night's Champions League match against Celtic will be nothing like the meeting between the two sides earlier this season.

The reverse fixture, at Camp Nou in September, saw the Hoops suffer their heaviest ever defeat in European competition as the hosts claimed an emphatic 7-0 win.

Brendan Rodgers's charges bounced back from that disappointment to claim draws against Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach, and Enrique is expecting a similarly resolute performance when the two sides meet at Celtic Park.

"It is going to be a different game completely," the Barca boss, whose last game in the Champions League was a 3-1 defeat at Manchester City, told Sky Sports News.

"We have to be ready for everything. It is good to score early in all games but Celtic need points so they will come out but again I say it will be different, it will be nothing like the game that we had before.

"The Camp Nou is not a reference, what will be a reference is the game against Manchester City."

The Blaugrana sit top of Group C with nine points from four games, while Celtic sit bottom on two points.
