After the Argentine soccer player Lionel Messi missed the penalty that Paris Saint Germain had, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Uefa Champions League, against Real Madrid, all the spotlights are on him. This time, contrary to the trend that has guided his career, for an aspect that is not a source of pride.
Several references in the history of PSG spoke about his performance. And, in fact, the French press has not withheld any criticism against Messi despite the fact that the team led by Mauricio Pochettino was victorious on Tuesday.
Now, as it has been known, his own club will publish an interview in the next few days in which, for the most skeptical, the Argentine spoke presciently of the ruling vs. the Madrid.
‘A small mistake can eliminate you’
“It is difficult to win the Champions League because it is a competition that brings together the best teams and where the smallest detail, the smallest mistake, can eliminate you”Messi would have said, according to leaks of the dialogue that Messi had with the ‘PSG Magazine’.
Aware of the favoritism with which his team carries, given the financial investment he has made, Messi stated:
“I think we have put together a team that can win it. We are excited about this idea and we have high hopes of being able to get there, but we have to take it easy “.
“In the Champions League, the best team doesn’t always win. You have to really focus on all the details. At the end of the day, it is the strongest teams that achieve their goals. We are on this path, seeking to be even stronger than we are,” he commented.
Paris Saint Germain will face Real Madrid again, at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, on March 9, for the second leg of the tournament.
