Barcelona boss Luis Enrique takes blame for 'nightmare' defeat against Juventus

This team don't press like the Barcelona team did under Pep Guardiola. He was the best player on the pitch as he had 22 completed passes, two shots on targets, and two tackles won on top of the two goals he scored, per Squawka Football.

Juventus have agreed a five-year contract extension with striker Paulo Dybala, the club confirmed on Thursday.

Enrique said he can not erase first half woes out of his head.

Barcelona will need to score four goals without reply at the Nou Camp thanks, in part, to a superb Dybala display.

After a single season in Argentina, Dybala moved to Italy, where he joined Palermo.

Iniesta, however, added that he feels his side improved on their disappointing performance late in the game and could have earned an away goal to make a second historic comeback a little more achievable.

The Spanish press was more effusive about Buffon, calling the 2006 World Cup victor a "legend" and using the word "divine" to describe his save as they raved about him and Dybala being the orchestrators of Barcelona's downfall.

"I think it's our credit", he said.

One Italian sports newspaper ran the headline "The New Messi" above a picture of Dybala, while another went with "Messi who?"

Paulo Dybala upstaged his fellow Argentine Lionel Messi by scoring two exquisitely taken goals to set Juventus on the way to an emphatic 3-0 win over an underwhelming Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.

"In the second half we saw something different".

A first-half double from Paulo Dybala and a second-half header from Giorgio Chiellini secured a quarterfinal first-leg win for the hosts in Turin yesterday to leave Barca with a mountain to climb in the April 19 return leg.

The Catalans were beaten 3-0 in Turin and Luis Enrique was among those who post-match appeared to question the chance of a second against-the-odds comeback in as many rounds, but Fernandez was more positive.
