Luis Enrique: 'Manchester City have quality, but we have Lionel Messi'

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique praises Manchester City's quality after the two sides were paired together in the last-16 stage of the Champions League.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has paid tribute to Manchester City's quality, but insisted that he has the best player in the world at the Camp Nou.

Enrique reserved special praise for City forward Sergio Aguero after the two sides were drawn together in the last-16 stage of the Champions League.

However, the Spaniard has claimed that for all City's quality, the Premier League club do not have a player in the class of Lionel Messi.

"They have a quality group of players and within the top 10 is Kun, but none of them are better than Messi," Enrique told reporters.

The first leg of the last-16 tie will take place at the Etihad.
