In statements carried out in just press conference after it finalised the meeting between Athletic of Madrid and FC Barcelona in the Calderón, Luis Enrique elogió the big work of his men during the ninety minutes and revealed besides why Leo Messi did not go out of start on the lawn of the sanctuary 'colchonero', although his apparition in the minute 60 did that it was decisive. "Today I have spoken with Leo, is importantísimo and his state is key so that it can play those that more better minutes. It is better that no arrriesgue. We needed him in the second part", went the words of the Asturian on the unexpected suplencia of Messi.

In general lines, Luis Enrique admitted that the Barça played a big split from the beginning to the end. "I think that the two teams wanted the victory without any doubt, but think that have been to a very high level, very consistent. That the Athletic generate you so few occasions of goal means that we have been very centred. We have been well in the defensive and offensive phase. I am happy". Luis Enrique did not want to polemizar in relation to the three clear hands of the Athletic inside the area, that would have to have been condemned with penalti by Mateu Lahoz.

"We do not see at all from the bench and the only is that us fiamos of what do the players. When they do it of impulsive way to ask imagine that something has had to have happened". It subtracted importance to the fact that Marc Bartra did not play neither an only minute. "It does not treat to speak of which have not played but the enormous party. And all can participate".

And it did not want to desvelar at all on the scope of the injury of Thomas Vermaelen, although it aims to a muscular subject and in the last hours 'Esport 3' has ensured that the Belgian head office could remain a month of drop. "Still we do not know it. The doctors will do a communiqué in brief. Whenever lesiona a player is complicated", said 'Struggle'. It will be necessary to expect, therefore, to the official information of the club.
