Barcelona are in a "perfect moment"

Barcelona are in a "perfect moment" as they chase a European and domestic treble, says boss Luis Enrique.
Barca, who are also challenging for La Liga and the Champions League, take a 3-1 first-leg lead to Villarreal in the Copa del Rey semi-final on Wednesday.
Enrique said: "This is the perfect moment in terms of results and form. And let's hope we can turn that form into titles."
Barcelona are second in the La Liga table, two points behind Real Madrid.
Barca host their arch-rivals in a potentially pivotal league game on 22 March.
They also have a 2-1 first-leg lead over Manchester City in the last-16 of the Champions League.
Enrique insists he will name a strong side against Villarreal as they look to seal their place in the final of the Copa del Rey, a competition they have won a record 26 times.
"The aim is to win the match. That way there can be no surprises," he added.
"It would be huge to score a goal. We won't be holding out for a draw. We'll take the game seriously and play our usual attacking football."
Villarreal go into the tie on the back of a fine 1-1 draw at league leaders Real Madrid on Sunday.
The other semi-final on Wednesday sees Espanyol host Athletic Bilbao with the tie poised at 1-1.
