Messi & Neymar in great shape, says Luis Enrique

FC Barcelona boss Luis Enrique is delighted with the condition in which Lionel Messi and Neymar have arrived back from the Copa America.

The Argentine went all the way in the competition, losing in the final on penalties to hosts Chile, while the Brazilian's involvement ended at the group stage when he was sent off against Chile.

The pair featured for the first time in pre-season on Wednesday, with both scoring in the 3-0 win over Roma at Camp Nou.

"They look great. They've been spectacular," Luis Enrique told reporters.

"Messi and Neymar, along with Javier Mascherano and Dani Alves have come in handy. When you're on holiday, in addition to your work programme, there are instructions for diet. They've obviously followed them.

"I liked Neymar's performance and I liked all the players in the important aspects. This is the path we want to follow."
