Barcelona legend Xavi claims Lionel Messi is playing so well because of Ernesto Valverde.
"Valverde? He believes in the Barca model 100 per cent," he explained to Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.
"He’s revitalised their style. The positional game has regained importance and Messi is the one that causes chaos for their opponents.
"The wide players also have a bigger role to play as they attack the space now. There’s also Paulinho coming from behind…
"Messi? Leo can do whatever he wants."
