Time and again, Luis Enrique has seen his side progress in a knock-out round, only losing once in those scenarios since taking over as Barcelona coach.
That came against Atletico Madrid in last season’s Champions League quarter-finals, and with Real Madrid eliminated in this year’s Copa del Rey, the Rojiblancos are the biggest threat this time around as well to the Blaugrana lifting even more silverware.
In that instance, Atletico lost 2-1 at the Camp Nou but were able to turn the tie around at home, giving Luis Enrique his sole defeat in two and a half seasons in charge.
