Luis Enrique out to end Barcelona career on a high
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique is not giving up hope of retaining LaLiga ahead of the clash with Eibar.
Luis Enrique aims to end his Barcelona career on a high as the Catalans dream of a miraculous final-day title win.
The Camp Nou side are trailing leaders Real Madrid by three points heading into the final game of the season and will not only have to beat Eibar on Sunday, but also need Zinedine Zidane's men to lose at Malaga in order to retain their Liga crown.
Luis Enrique, who will leave the post at the end of the campaign, realises a tough task awaits when he takes to the Barca bench for the last time, but he is refusing to give up just yet.
"We are ready for what will be a key game," the Barcelona coach said at a news conference.
