"If Cristiano Ronaldo is like Michael Jordan, then Messi is like Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in a game," said the Spaniard at a press conference.
"In my opinion, Lionel should be given some rest, but it's so good to watch him play that I have to leave him on the field for the entire 90 minutes. He is truly generous and makes many assists, it's a great joy to watch him," added L. Enrique.
So far this season, L. Messi has scored five goals and made eight assists."
