What did they expect him to say?
We never thought Luis Enrique had a dry wit, but clearly the Barcelona boss doesn’t mind joking with reporters who ask silly questions.
The former Barca midfielder was quizzed by journalists this afternoon in London ahead of the club’s Champions League clash with Arsenal, and was asked about his prolific forward line.
Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar are the most deadly trio in European football at present, and have grabbed close to 100 goals between them so far at Camp Nou.
Despite Suarez forgetting his passport today to travel to England, Enrique will be able to field the South America trio and today was asked what he says to them to get them to perform each and every week.
His answer was more than just a little tongue-in-cheek.
How do you get the best out of Messi, Neymar, Suarez?

Simple.
He wasn’t finished there either, as a reporter also asked him how he slept knowing that Real Madrid and Atletico had dropped points in the La Liga title race.
Enrique had a very quick response for the reporter who we imagine won’t be asking that question again.
Luis Enrique asked how he went to bed yesterday after Atletico and Madrid dropped points. "With my wife as always". LRT via @Alfremartinezz
