Barcelona head coach, Luis Enrique has insisted that Lionel Messi may not feature for the Catalans as they prepare for battle at the Santiago Bernabau against Real Madrid on November 21.

Lionel Messi makes Barcelona the best football team in the world, according to Claudio Bravo.

Whether Neymar will make it this year may depend on how he performs after Messi returns from injury in a few weeks.

Asked during an interview with Onda Cero who impressed him the most since his arrival to Old Trafford, Herrera said: “Hazard, I think for me he is the best player in the Premier League. We are happy. Neymar chose to play here and he is super happy in Barcelona-you can see that”. Anything. It’s so special for us to play for our country. It is hard to compare it with other games as today, in general, we were able to enjoy a complete game on a pitch where that does not happen easily.

“We didn’t suffer much, we attacked well, we were organised and we pressed very well”, he said.

Enrique was also delighted to have Andres Iniesta back from injury and praised the contributions of fellow midfielders, Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto.

“I want to keep making history, winning everything with the club”, said Neymar, who leads the Spanish league in scoring with eight goals in as many matches.

An uneventful first half was illuminated by a superb Barca goal when midfielder Sergi Roberto delightfully flicked Neymar’s pass into Luis Suarez’s path, and the Uruguay global finished well for his 300th career goal.
