Football: 'I never doubted Messi's commitment' - Koeman on eve of clash with Eibar

Barcelona head coach Ronald Koeman said on Monday that he never doubted Lionel Messi's commitment to the team after the Argentian star claimed he will decide his future at the end of the season. Messi won't be available for Barcelona's home against Eibar in La Liga on Tuesday due to an ankle injury and will fly back to Spain from Argentina in a few days. In August, Messi stunned Barcelona by telling the club he wanted to leave following a season without titles that ended in a humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich. The club said no, and Messi backed down saying that he could not take his club to court. He has played as hard as ever since then, but has not said if he has changed his mind over wanting to leave. “Now I am focused on winning titles instead of other things," Messi said in a rare interview.
