Rio Ferdinand shocked by Messi’s image: “I couldn’t see him lying there, you can’t do it” – PSG

The image of Lionel Messi lying on the ground behind the barrier taking a free-kick in yesterday’s game against Manchester City, outraged Rio Ferdinand. The former English player, now a television commentator, considered the situation disrespectful.

“We couldn’t believe it. He’s one of the best in history, if not the best. The moment Pochettino asked him in practice to do that, someone should have come along and said ‘no, no, no, not Messi You can do this.’ Messi,” the former Manchester United defender told BTSport. The commentator also spoke of the Argentine’s first goal for PSG. “The rhythm, the strength, the balance, the technique he used to place the ball where he put it… Phenomenal,” explained Rio Ferdinand, who also praised Achraf’s work. “Hakimi’s performance is very important because it takes the defender behind him. When you have players like Hakimi, who wreak havoc like that, they open up spaces that someone like Messi is capable of exploiting.”
