Head Coach Luis Enrique is confident Douglas can make an impact at Barcelona despite his slow start.

The full-back was signed from Sao Paulo this summer, but has barely featured, with Daniel Alves often preferred instead.

Despite this however, Enrique believes Douglas has the qualities to succeed at Barcelona and expects him to eventually find his feet in Spain. 

“Douglas comes from another continent. He’s an interesting player and needs to do the same things he did at Sao Paulo,” he said, as reported by Football Espana.

“However, we know he has what it takes to do just that. We only place importance in beating our next opponents, nothing more.”
