Former Barcelona coach Luiz Enrique insists the Catalan giants ‘will continue to win titles’ without Lionel Messi.

Messi had been at war with Barcelona as he attempted to push through a move to Manchester City to secure a reunion with Pep Guardiola.

But with La Liga and club president sticking to the idea Messi had no legal ground to stand on due to the €700million (£630m) release clause in his contract, the 33-year-old begrudgingly confirmed he will now remain at the club.

And speaking ahead of Spain’s UEFA Nations League tie against Ukraine, Enrique who led Barcelona to the treble in 2015 said:”I think the clubs are above all people, players and presidents. Barcelona, ​​founded in 1899, is one of the best in the world. They have always won titles.

“It is evident that there has been a wonderful relationship. Leo has made Barca grow exponentially but I would have liked it if a much more friendly agreement had been reached.

“Sooner or later, Messi will stop playing at Barca. Barcelona will continue to win titles without Messi and Messi will continue to be a wonderful footballer.”

Enrique, my man.
I remember the bloody incident with Milan legend, Tassotii in the 1994 World Cup...and his whining like a sissy 14 years later.

All the same, Enrique is a true legend...He never runs away defending Barca...

Yes, maybe after 5 Years

Barca has always been Barca before the emergence of messi...they are still the top2 biggest team in the laliga and that can never change
