Luis Enrique has dismissed a report of a dressing room rift after their defeat against Alaves.

Diario Gol reported on Monday that some players responded to a telling off by Enrique by questioning his decision to make eight changes to the team.

"We talk after every game to correct things and to reinforce other aspects but what happens in those meetings is only important for the players and staff," he told a news conference on Monday. "We always talk with the players to try and put them on the right track to win the game but it is not an exact science."

Barcelona hadn't lost in 12 competitive matches.
