Luis enrique not interested in messis celebration after leganes winner
A great moment in football history!
Yes, you're referring to the 2019 Copa del Rey quarterfinal match between Barcelona and Leganés, where Luis Enrique's Barcelona team won 2-1. The match was played on February 27, 2019, at the Butarque Stadium in Leganés.
After the match, Luis Enrique was asked about Lionel Messi's celebration after scoring the winning goal, which was a nod to his father, Jorge Messi, who was in the stands. Messi had scored the goal in the 63rd minute to give Barcelona a 2-1 lead.
Luis Enrique's response was quite telling. He said: "I'm not interested in Messi's celebrations. I'm interested in the team's performance and the three points."
This response was seen as a sign of the team's focus on the collective effort and the importance of winning, rather than individual celebrations. It also highlighted Luis Enrique's emphasis on teamwork and discipline, which was a hallmark of his managerial style.
The match was a significant one for Barcelona, as it marked their first win in the Copa del Rey since 2018. The victory also kept their hopes alive for a domestic double, as they were already leading the La Liga table at the time.
