Luis Enrique hails Lionel Messi

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique claims that Lionel Messi's first goal in their Copa del Rey final win over Athletic Bilbao "was from another galaxy".

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has paid tribute to Lionel Messi following the Argentine's brace in Saturday's Copa del Rey final.

Messi scored twice against Athletic Bilbao, including a memorable first goal, as the Catalan outfit triumphed 3-1 at the Camp Nou.

Enrique has said that the Argentine's first goal "was from another galaxy".

"We're used to this Messi. We're lucky to enjoy him every day in training, when we see him wriggle away from three challenges before shooting. His first goal was from another galaxy," Enrique told reporters.

"I can't wait to see the goal on television – being a coach made it difficult to see properly."

Barcelona will have the chance to secure a treble when they face Juventus in the Champions League final on June 6.
