Barcelona: Luis Enrique warned his Barcelona players that their job was only half done after a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad in their Copa del Rey quarter-final first leg.

Barcelona won at the Anoeta for the first time in nearly a decade after Neymar converted a penalty. It was the Catalans’ first win in San Sebastian since a 2-0 La Liga success in May 2007. “As a player I had won here, but as a coach I hadn’t,” Enrique said. “This is tough for us, but only because Real Sociedad always play to this level — we had to be very serious and efficient.
“The result is all well and good, but the return leg will pose us some problems, but for us it is great news that we have taken this win.”

Neymar’s strike was the Brazilian’s eighth goal of the season but it helped strengthen Barcelona’s grip on the trophy they have won each of the past two years ahead of the return leg at the Nou Camp in a week’s time.
