Barcelona coach Luis Enrique maintained that "the best is yet to come" ahead of his 100th game in charge in Sunday's La Liga trip to Levante.
Primera Division leaders Barca go into the game looking to stretch their lead at the top of the table, in the lunchtime kick-off against the division's bottom side at the Ciutat de Valencia stadium.
Luis Enrique's first 99 games have brought 79 wins, 11 draws and nine defeats as Barca have won five of the six trophies entered -- including the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey Treble in his debut season last year.

Ahead of the opportunity to match the club's all-time record unbeaten run of 28 games set under Pep Guardiola in 2010-11, the current Blaugrana coach told his prematch news conference that he was very proud of his achievements.
"I'm proud of it all," Luis Enrique said. "The good and the bad. There is a team behind which has suffered and enjoyed themselves. The numbers are so good because we have the best players. We are in good form at the moment, but grades are given out at the end of the season.
"The idea from the start was to have more options, to be more unpredictable. We are doing that. But I believe the best is yet to come."
Under recently appointed coach Rubi, Levante have won their last two home games against Rayo Vallecano and Las Palmas, and had a good January transfer window with interesting signings including Italy striker Giuseppe Rossi on loan from Fiorentina.
"It will be a difficult game, for the needs of the rival, and because they have strengthened," Luis Enrique said. "We are in a phase of the competition where results are decisive. It will be difficult to win."
Claudio Bravo, Javier Mascherano and Dani Alves are all likely to return to the starting XI, having been rested for Wednesday's 7-0 thumping of Gary Neville's Valencia in the Copa del Rey. Luis Enrique said that game had not changed his plan for the Levante trip.
"The previous plan continues, what happens in La Liga has nothing to do with what happened against Valencia," he said. "We should not exaggerate too much, neither good nor bad. It very different playing at home or away. The Camp Nou has its effect, although we always try and play the same way."
