Barcelona want to avoid their Champions League semi-final, second leg at Bayern Munich tonight turning into a frantic encounter that could jeopardise their 3-0 first leg advantage, coach Luis Enrique said.

The Spaniards scored three times late in the game to beat Bayern last week but Enrique said he was fully aware the Germans were far from beaten.

“We don’t want to have a crazy game and if it is a crazy game we will have to calm it down,” Enrique told reporters yesterday.

“We will try to do it with counter-attacks. We want to have the ball, we want possession. It will be difficult because Bayern will do the same thing. But we will try to find the spaces and score goals.”

Bayern twice showed they are capable of crushing any opposition at home in the Champions League this season, first annihilating Shakhtar Donetsk 7-0 after a goalless draw in Ukraine in the round of 16 and then demolishing Porto 6-1 after losing their quarter-final first leg 3-1 in Portugal.

Against Porto they scored five times in the opening 40 minutes to kill off the tie in the first half and that is what the Barca coach is desperate to avoid.

“You should not be too confident going into a game like that. You have to respect the opponent, calm your players down, control their emotions,” Luis Enrique said.
