The Dutch head coach has heaped praise upon the six-time Ballon d’Or winner after his stunning display against Alaves.
Ronald Koeman has insisted that Lionel Messi is “excited and happy” at Barcelona despite ongoing transfer talk.
Messi took his tally to 15 goals from 20 La Liga matches in 2020-21 by netting twice in the 5-1 thrashing of Alaves on Saturday.
The Argentine continues to be linked with a move away from Camp Nou after entering the final five months of his contract, but Koeman thinks he is enjoying his football again amid Barca’s improved domestic form.
