Luis Enrique: Juventus beating felt like the third half of PSG vs. Barcelona

It was something of a case of deja vu for Luis Enrique and Barcelona as they crashed to yet another seemingly disastrous first leg defeat away from home in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Blaugrana boss was quick to point to his side's four-goal defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the last-16 after it was somewhat repeated in the 3-0 loss at Juventus.
"It does not matter if I think the result is fair or not, it is what it is," the Asturian remarked to reporters post-match."It felt like the third half of PSG vs. Barcelona.
"It is very serious and sad, we were impotent in the first-half, it was a very tough game."
On whether he felt that the defeat in Turin was worse than the previous setback in Paris, Luis Enrique admitted his current state to be more negative than back at Parc des Princes.
"We have revived a nightmare," he added. "We have to determine why we've been so bad.
"This one has cost me more [than the PSG game]."
In determining where Barcelona had gone wrong at Juventus Stadium, the coach insisted that his players must defend better against such prestigious opponents.
"Our positioning and some more details on the pitch were below the level required, and the intensity must be much higher," Luis Enrique lamented. 
"In the Champions League, against an opponent like Juve, you can not do that."
