Messi gave an exclusive interview to SPORT where he talked about Enrique's passed-away daughter.
Messi said: "It was horrible, something no one expected despite knowing a little bit about her treatment. It’s something you never want to think about and less so when it’s such a young person.
"Unfortunately, these things happen a lot in the world but you feel it more when it’s closer to home. To have experienced moments with her, gone to school with her alongside my children, to her being friends with a teammate’s son.
"It was horrible. They are things which you can’t explain and it impacts everyone. We all have children and to think of that situation is terribly difficult. I can’t say anything more because I don’t know how I would react if I experienced that. It’s a sensitive topic."
