The attacking trident of FC Barcelona; Leo Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar; is looking in great touch at the moment. But Luis Enrique has insisted that he expects more from them.

“The players that score and give assists are the ones that people notice more. But strikers also have to open up the play, create space, put on pressure when we lose the ball and a lot of other things beside scoring goalsa .
