Defeat will not derail season - Enrique

Barca boss remains optimistic after Clasico loss at home to Real Madrid

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said his team would not allow Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by bitter rival Real Madrid affect its confidence.

La Liga leader Barca was the better side for most of the Clasico but a late goal by Cristiano Ronaldo helped third-placed Real close the gap on the Catalans to seven points with seven games to go.
