Luis Enrique showed just how ambitious he was after the cup final game by commenting: "The season will be exemplary if we win the treble. If not, it won't be so much".

The manager surprised many by heaping praise on his star player Messi, who he hugged after the game: "What Leo did shows what he is capable of and what we are used to seeing. He does even more difficult things in training. I'm looking forward to enjoying the goal afterwards at home. He's the best player in the world".

The Asturian also had kind words for their rivals, Athletic: "It's sad for me because they have deserved a title for a long time, but in the last few years they have come up against Barça and it's hard playing against a team like ours. They have once again shown that they deserve the cup".

The Barça manager fully understood the Athletic players' anger after Neymar's show of unnecessary, fancy football: "In Spain such things are not taken kindly and if I were an Athletic player I would have behaved in much the same way or even worse, but we have to understand that these things are normal in Brazil. We will try to make him understand".

Luis Enrique then talked about the Champions League final: "Now we want the third. It's important to be optimistic, but we are also realists. Juve are tough rivals; they can also win their treble and that means that they have had a fantastic season. We are not invincible; it's a horrible word because it doesn't exist, it's a lie".
