LUIS ENRIQUE has revealed the tactics that allowed Lionel Messi to dominate the Clasico.

Messi scored the late winner in injury time after scoring Barcelona's first to level things up after Casemiro's opener.
Messi's two goals took his Barcelona tally to 500 and opened the La Liga title race up.
And Enrique described Messi as the greatest player of all time and lifted the lid on how he hurt Madrid at the Bernabeu.
“He allowed us to have superiority in midfield, we wanted him on ball as often as possible,” said Luis Enrique.
“It was more difficult in the middle with lots of bodies in there, but he managed to do it for the first goal. It went as we'd hoped.
“Messi even makes a difference when he's at home having dinner. He's the best of all time and I have seen a lot of games of football - and videos. Now people are better prepared [for him] and he makes the difference. And this was his 500th goal!
"Just imagine, his 500th goal coming here, a winner in the 92nd minute at the Santiago Bernabeu. It's very nice for Leo and it's nice for everyone associated with Barca."
