City players "no Corrie legends yet"

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique praised his ex-teammate Pep Guardiola's efforts to improve Manchester City after their defeat last night at the Camp Nou, but he also warned that it will take time before his team can join the ranks of Manchester greats such as Coronation Street legends Deidre Barlow or Ena Sharples.

Enrique surprised reporters by revealing his love for the long-running soap opera, which he sees as a role model of stability to inspire his team to continued success.

The Barça boss told a stunned press conference: "Without Aguero up front, I felt City were missing that strong Len Fairclough figure - minus the swimming pool paedo allegations, needless to say."

He went on to describe City keeper Claudio Bravo's dismissal after a deliberate handball outside of the penalty area as reminiscent of a darker chapter in Manchester's history - that of the infamous Moors Murderers Brady and Hindley.
