Lionel Messi's absence from Monday's open training session for fans did not sit well with Luis Enrique, who wanted to reprimand him.
Luis Enrique did not fully believe that the Argentine had gastroenteritis, which saw him miss the training session organised by the Barça boss following their defeat in San Sebastian.
According to reports in Barcelona newspaper 'Sport', the three team captains, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets were the ones who calmed down the Barça manager and avoided any further disruption to the Barcelona dressing room.
The players thought that treating a player of Leo Messi's calibre like that was not in the team's best interests for the future and managed to convince the coach to change his mind. However, the three will meet up with the Argentine forward to talk over everything that happened.
According to reports from other media sources, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets had already contacted Messi to calm him down, and may have even told him that the current Barcelona boss's days in the dugout are numbered.
After missing Monday's training session, especially with it being an open session for Barcelona's youngest fans, the Argentine apologised through a statement on his Facebook account and also turned up at the club's training ground despite the squad having the day off.
