Lionel Messi confessed that he had an argument with Luis Enrique when they were together in Barcelona, but he assures that the coach-player relationship was spectacular.

Barcelona has had several coaches in recent years and one of the most successful has been Luis Enrique, who was in charge of the club between 2014 and 2017. The period of the Spanish coach is very remembered by the 'Azulgranas' and especially by Lionel Messi, who revealed that there was a great relationship, although that did not prevent an argument.

The 'Pulga' remembered the period of the Spanish strategist at Camp Nou during an interview with Jorge Valdano, who hosts a program on Movistar Plus, and gave details of the small crisis that occurred in early 2015.

"I was coming back from Argentina, after the holidays, and we were playing on January 2 or 3. Well, that day I ended up on the bench and we had a discussion that lasted a little while,”, Lionel Messi said with a smile on his face, referring to the match that Barcelona lost away to Real Sociedad (1-0) in LaLiga.

That time, the Argentine forward was on the bench along with other club figures such as Neymar, Dani Alves, Gerard Piqué, Ivan Rakitic, or Marc-André ter Stegen. However, 'Leo' did have activity: he played the entire second half, but couldn't do much to prevent his team's defeat.

Despite Lionel's annoyance at that time, the campaign ended brilliantly at the collective level: Barcelona was champion of LaLiga Santander and the Champions League. And in the individual aspect, Messi ended up winning the Ballon d'Or 2015, after two years finishing in second place.

Similarly, the 'Pulga' confessed that he would have liked the coach to stay longer. "I had a spectacular relationship with Luis Enrique until the last day. When he decided to leave, we told him to stay, not to leave, that we were fine,” the player concluded in the small excerpt from the interview.
