Luis Enrique: "We are in a bad moment"

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique refuses to criticise the recent form of Lionel Messi, but admits that his team "are in a bad moment" following their Champions League exit.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has admitted that his team "are in a bad moment" after exiting the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The Catalan giants lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their quarter-final at the Vicente Calderon, which saw the reigning champions bow out 3-2 on aggregate.

Barcelona have also lost their last two in La Liga to blow the title race wide open and although refusing to blame Lionel Messi, who is currently on his worst run of scoring form for five years, Enrique admitted that his side are struggling.

"Very unfair to point to individuals after a defeat. But we are in a bad moment, in both attack and defence," Enrique told reporters.

Barcelona will return to La Liga action at home to Valencia this weekend.
