**Luis Enrique seems to think that South American soccer is not at the level of European soccer.**

Yesterday afternoon Argentina’s national soccer team thrashed Italy’s national soccer team 3-0 in the Finalissima, a 1-game intercontinental tournament, and although many people enjoyed the spectacle, someone downplayed the match. That someone is Luis Enrique, coach of Spain who downplayed South American soccer and this time Messi’s Argentina, as did Mbappé.

It should be recalled that a few days ago Kylian Mbappé once again became the center of controversy by underestimating South American soccer by stating that in South America soccer does not have the same level as in Europe and asserted that this is why the teams that win the most World Cups are European, thus provoking the anger of many players and incidentally, that of Lionel Messi, his teammate at PSG.

And as if it were some kind of fashion or trend, this day another European soccer protagonist once again made South American soccer less so with a venomous comment that was directed at Lionel Messi‘s Argentina, demonstrating that he shares along with Mbappé this point of view that considers South American soccer to be below the level of European soccer.

What Luis Enrique, coach of Spain, said, who downplayed South American soccer and this time Messi’s Argentina, as did Mbappé

In a controversial act Luis Enrique, the coach of the Spanish national soccer team stated that if Argentina was able to beat Italy it is because this team is weak at the moment and that it will not even go to the World Cup, in addition to having sarcastically exclaimed that the victory obtained by the Albiceleste is not something “to go crazy about”.

“But let’s not go crazy either because I beat Italy 2-0“, were the words of the coach who did not even apologize for having missed the result of the match and also closed his statements with the affirmation that “Italy is now in a period of change, of weakness, which can last and from which it is difficult to get out”. In this way, Messi’s former coach at FC Barcelona underestimated Argentina’s victory over Italy.
