Real Madrid News latest real madrid news
Leo Messi is still feeling nostalgic since his departure from FC Barcelona. Now, the star has once again given details on how the farewell was motivated and how he didn’t want it to happen.
“I had everything in Barcelona. I left my country when I was very young. And what’s more: I’ve lived more in Barcelona than in Argentina. The truth is, I had no plans to change anything. Fortunately, the children’s adaptation was amazing. It was more difficult,” he noted in an interview during Argentina’s camp in preparation for the match against Italy at Wembley.
And the Argentine was clear in his talk about the exclusion of Paris Saint-Germain from the Champions League: “Something Real Madrid killed us.” He added in an interview with TyC Sports: “The best team doesn’t always win. Real Madrid, not to mention being the champion and always is, were not the best team in the Champions League.
high-ranking team
Messi added: “I know what Real Madrid is, I have lived it for many years, all my life, up close. And I know this can happen, because they score a goal out of nowhere and automatically change the game. I already know it can happen and it has happened to us and to all the teams you say (Chelsea, City, Liverpool) and this is not the first time it has happened.”
He doesn’t want to say goodbye without raising the Champions Cup again: “I want to win it again and it bothered me because I couldn’t be in the final. It also makes me see that the best team doesn’t always win the Champions League, the Champions League is situations, it’s defining moments, it’s psychological. Moments that are team-controlled, where the slightest mistake leaves you out of the tournament and the team most prepared for those situations ends up winning it or reaching the final.”
More about Barcelona
Returning to his departure from Barcelona, Leo gave more details: “It was a summer in which happiness was supposed to be complete and where I thought that everything would remain the same in Barcelona for the rest of my life. Meanwhile, it happened and it was tough. It was a difficult change. Difficult year. It’s been a difficult year. It wasn’t easy adjusting after being in the same place all my life, it’s not easy with my age. It’s something I didn’t want to happen, I didn’t imagine it, I didn’t think about it.”
And about his feelings about the draw in the Qatar World Cup, he said: “There are no easy competitors. The whole World Cup is going to be difficult, but obviously, a priori, in terms of names, you would always prefer to play against teams with fewer names.”
Asking for justice
, he said of the criticism of the Argentine national team: “It was very unfair to that group. We gave everything in that time for the national team and there was a strange feeling with that group, we were mistreated and we didn’t deserve it because we did important things.”
Messi misses his friend Con Aguero a lot: “I missed him in everything. I was especially focused with him, I was by his side all day, we woke up together, we went to sleep together and the truth is yes, you miss him.”
He still does not know what he will do after the World Cup in Qatar: “The other time I said that after the World Cup I had to rethink a lot of things and I don’t know. The truth is I’m thinking about this and then thinking I’ll see. Honestly, it seems very difficult to me, but I don’t have anything clear.”
About the golden ball
In a shootout with Lewandowski after the Polish criticized him after the 2021 Ballon d’Or, he said: “Everyone says what he wants and it is clear that he can express himself and say what he wants. I honestly don’t agree with what he said but I wouldn’t give it more importance. That’s it and he can say whatever he wants and I don’t care.”
The player who thinks he deserves to win the Ballon d’Or: “I think there are no doubts, it is very clear that Benzema is right because he had a great year and ended up winning the Champions League, he was a key factor in winning the tournament from the round of 16 onwards. All matches. I think there is no doubt this year.”
