Leonel Messi refuses to be substituted.


Leonel Messi showed that he is indeed the boss at Barcelona, by refusing to be substituted by his coach in a match on Saturday.

The Argentine international is chasing the all-time goal scoring record in La Liga and needs two goals to achieve that, and so in  Saturday's match with Eibar, when coach Luis Enrique signaled for his substitution, he refused to leave the pitch.

The coach was clearly frustrated and had no option than to ask for Neymar to come out instead. Barcelona was already 3-0 up at this stage

Coach Luis Enrique has played down the significance of the incident but Ajax coach Frank De Boer believes that even a player as great as Messi has to do as he is told.

"He is the best in the world and will be for many more years," the Ajax boss told reporters "Leo also has great experience so he knows how he is physically. but when the coach says one thing, you have to listen."
