Luis Enrique believes Barcelona can turn their Supercopa tie with Atlhetic Bilbao on its head at the Nou Camp after being demolished 4-0 in the first leg.
The Spanish champions were humiliated by Mikel San Jose’s sensational 50-yard strike and a second half hat-trick by striker Aritz Aduriz at San Mames on Friday.
But the Catalans’ manager believes Barca have the firepower to score at least five unanswered goals in their quest for a sixth trophy of 2015.
“We know it is a challenge, but I think we have a team who can do this,” Enrique said ahead of Monday's decider - live on Sky Sports 4.
“If we do things well we have every possibility. If we get things right, I am sure we can turn things around.
“If you look at the statistics, last year there were 18 matches where we scored four or more goals.
“Sometimes the other team scored, but it shows that we are capable of doing that. Everyone knows Barcelona is capable of anything."
No team has ever overturned a four-goal deficit to win the Supercopa and Barca could again be without Brazilian forward Neymar, who missed the first leg through illness with mumps.
But Enrique remains upbeat last season’s Champions League winners can tie up the Supercopa before heading to Japan for the Club World Cup in December.
“I think that my players are confident,” Enrique added. “But we also know we will have to play very, very well and get every aspect of our game right.”
