And breathe, Barcelona supporters.

Lionel Messi said Sunday that reports he wants out of Camp Nou are "lies" and that he has "no intention" of leaving for Chelsea or Manchester City, writes ESPN's Dermot Corrigan.

Messi addressed speculation of his departure, and of a rift between he and coach Luis Enrique, after Sunday's 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

"I am thankful to be able to give my version," he said. "It's not good for people to look for rivalry between me and Luis Enrique because there isn't any. Don't throw shit at us from outside because that will only do us harm."

The 27-year-old added that he's never tried to have Enrique sacked.
