BARCELONA: Barcelona coach Luis Enrique hailed hat-trick hero Lionel Messi as the greatest player in the world “in every position” after the Argentine maestro set another record in the Champions League.
Messi became the first player in European Cup history to score six hat-tricks as he bagged his 40th career treble for club and country.
“Messi plays with complete freedom and he can change his position as he wants. He’s the best in the world in every position,” Luis Enrique said.
“If he plays as a number 9, a number 8 or a number 6, he’s the best in the world. He can judge the perfect pass from 40 yards and put the ball wherever he wants.”
