Barcelona chief Mestre: I don't know why Enrique substituted Neymar...

Barcelona vice-president Jordi Mestre has sparked controversy after responding to Neymar's substitution during their draw with Sevilla.

Neymar was visibly upset over coach Luis Enrique's decision.

"I don't know why he took Neymar off. He'd had a great game and scored with an outstanding free-kick. Luis Enrique must have had his reasons," said Mestre.

"We put in a great first half, but it was a tough game and we're happy to have come away with an away point."
