Luis Enrique: Barca ready for Calderon cauldron

The Vicente Calderon will be rocking on Wednesday, but Barcelona will be ready, says coach Luis Enrique.

Luis Enrique insists Barcelona will be ready for the Vicente Calderon cauldron that awaits on Wednesday.

The Catalans travels to Atletico Madrid for the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal holding a 2-1 lead from last week's first meeting. Luis Suarez struck twice to give the holders the win, after Atletico striker Fernando Torres had scored and then got sent off before halftime.

Atletico's home ground is famous for its boisterous atmosphere during big games, but Luis Enrique expects his off-color side – which has picked up just one point from its last three La Liga outings – to handle the raucous reception.
