Jose Mourinho had high praise for Messi following his performance in Barcelona's 3-0 win over Liverpool in the Champions League.

"That God of football made it completely different. It was absolutely incredible," said Mourinho.

Mourinho added that Liverpool were brave in how they approached the match at Camp Nou.

"Liverpool were brave with their approach. I don't think many teams beat Barcelona in terms of possession in the Champions League at the Camp Nou. Liverpool were very positive, to have three big chances was a lot. Liverpool deserved much more than the 3-0 result, but we can also say that it could have been 4-0 or 5-0 at the very end."
