Movistar+ reporter Ricardo Sierra asked Luis Enrique over why Andres Iniesta didn't start, and the Asturian coach was angered because he believes the question already carried a certain baggage with it.
With the Blaugrana already on edge, the coach didn't hold back in his response.
"Does Andres Iniesta still need to have his minutes carefully regulated," Sierra asked after Barcelona's 3-2 victory over Real Sociedad. "Or are you giving Andre Gomes minutes and more confidence because at this stage he can offer more than Iniesta?"
"Andres Iniesta is an irreplaceable player," Luis Enrique responded. "In terms of giving players confidence it is easy for a journalist to say that.
"Sandro was criticised several years ago, now it seems like he is very good, Munir wasn't good enough before but now he almost always plays with Valencia.
"Sierra then rectified his question, asking if that is the reason then that Iniesta was on the bench.
"If you think he is a sub because there is somebody better than him, well then I don't know what to tell you," the coach continued. "Just to ask that question is ridiculous."
