🎙️Luis Enrique 🇪🇸: "Are we talking about the match or Messi's show? Because I saw what happened. Yes, they left with a loss, but everyone came out talking about just one Leo, at his age?! To play at that level, with such brilliance. This is not normal. The fans didn't come to watch us win or lose, they came to watch the magician. And do you know the most beautiful thing? He didn't disappoint them! That pass that no one else sees. Those touches that make the ball obey his commands like a magnet. This isn't football, this is art. And we, as coaches, even when we win against him, find ourselves smiling because we witnessed something rare. But don't get me wrong. I'm happy with our victory, and that's the most important thing. But admitting my admiration for Messi doesn't diminish our pride. Great people like Leo force you to respect them, even when you beat them. In the end, everyone will remember that we were the better team that day. But they won't forget that Messi was the best player on the pitch. And that alone says it all."
