Playing with Messi made me mentally exhausted; The Milan legend revealed

Lionel Messi is advancing unbeaten in world football. Lionel Messi was able to complete his career by winning all the major titles in club and international football as he won the Copa America, Finalissima and World Cup under Lionel Scaloni.

Alessandro Nesta, the legendary star of the Italian club AC Milan, has revealed many of his experiences while playing with Messi.

He has revealed that an incident that happened while playing against Messi in the 2011-2012 Champions League season gave him a lot of mental stress.

In the 2011-2012 season, Barca and Milan met four times in the Champions League. Barcelona have faced Catalan club Milan twice in the group stage and twice in the quarter-finals, with both matches ending in draws.

Messi had three goals and two assists in four matches against Milan.
He said that in the match with Calcitore Booti, he was a defender and it was very difficult for him to face Messi and he felt like he was older when he faced Messi.

“I kicked Messi in the 10th minute of the match. But then when I fell on the ground during the match, Messi came running to help me and gave me his hand to get me up. “When Messi did that, it blew my mind,” Nesta said.

“Messi was playing like he did in the first 10 minutes even at the end of the match. It made me feel older,’ he added.

Messi, who played well in the 2011-2012 season, scored 73 goals from 60 matches in that season. But despite Messi’s excellence, Barcelona could not win the La Liga and Champions League awards in the 2011-2012 season.
