Luis Enrique delighted with Lionel Messi return

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has revealed his delight at seeing Lionel Messi return from a two-month lay-off in Saturday's El Clasico.

The Argentine has missed a large chunk of this season after picking up cruciate damage to his knee at the end of September.

Messi made his return in Barcelona's 4-0 win over Real Madrid at the weekend, however, coming off the bench in the second period as the Catalan giants recorded a historic win at the Bernabeu.

"I see Messi in a good way. It's a joy for all to see the best player back on the field," Enrique told reporters.

Messi, 28, is expected to start Barcelona's Champions League clash with Roma on Tuesday.
