Barcelona [Spain], October 21 : After the Champions League win over Ferencvaros, Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman said if Lionel Messi continues to play like he did against Ferencvaros then he will have "no complaints".
Koeman's remarks came after Barcelona registered an impressive 5-1 win over Ferencvaros here on Wednesday.
"If he plays like he did tonight, I will have no complaints over Leo," Goal.com quoted Koeman as saying.
"He worked hard, he scored from the penalty spot but I then I too used to score penalties. If he doesn't score but gives two or three assists we cannot ask more of him," he added.
