Barcelona boss Luis Enrique is "not surprised" that Rafinha is thriving in a midfield position for the Catalan giants this season.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has paid tribute to Rafinha after the Brazilian midfielder scored the only goal of the match in the Catalan side's La Liga clash with Granada on Saturday night.

Rafinha scored an over-head kick early in the second period to secure a 1-0 victory for his team and take his total to five goals in six La Liga appearances this season.

Enrique has claimed that he was "not surprised" by Rafinha's performance due to the 23-year-old's understanding of the team's tactical system.

"I'm not surprised by his performance. He's having more success coming into the area from the second line, which is what we ask of the midfielders. You have three players up front who are unusual, but we ask this of the second line. They must keep coming," Enrique told reporters.

Rafinha was restricted to just six La Liga appearances last season after suffering a serious knee injury in September 2015.
