Lionel Messi, Marc-Andre Ser Stegen and Philip Coutinho were not invited at all by Ronald Coeman for Wednesday's match in the Champions League against the Hungarian club in Budapest

Barcelona has already secured the qualifications among the top 16 and wants to fire key players, seeing the match schedule in December.

Captain Messy was fired in the last match against Danamo Kiev on the trip.

Coeman explained he talked to Mess about firing him and that the decision was the coach.

“It's not common for Messin to rest, I know that, but I've talked to him about it, despite the decision was mine”, Coeman said at a news conference Tuesday.

Looking at this season's calendar, the two times I could fire it were in Kiev and tomorrow. We've already qualified and I've been able to give others a chance. We need to win Saturday in La League and this is the right time for Messin to rest. I won't be able to fire him again.”, he added.
