"To talk about Cruyff is to talk about football at its best," said Enrique, who was accompanied by two of Barcelona's star players Sergio Busquets and captain Andres Iniesta.

Barcelona's first team visited the memorial after training on Tuesday morning, during which the players observed a minute's silence in honour of Cruyff who died last Thursday aged 68 after a battle with lung cancer.
