Barcelona manager, Luis Enrique has said that Lionel Messi is better than Cristiano Ronaldo “on a footballing level”.

"It will be tough for us; they're a team to be afraid of in two matches.”

“For me, (the two games) are two different things,” he added. “It's even more difficult when you have two games to play.
“I don't know how Atlético are going to play it. I expect they will remain faithful to their style of playing the game. They are powerful in all areas. We must be intense and aggressive.
He then added his opinion on the on-going debate about who the best player in the world is,“On a footballing level, Ronaldo is below Messi.”
