Is Messi an artist? Do the Pulga’s prowess on the field go beyond the framework of sport to become art? This is the whole point of a documentary by TV3 in which they asked many football figures if the Argentine goes beyond a ball.
Several of his former teammates and former coaches confide in the Argentinian’s character traits but also on beautiful anecdotes. Xavi Hernandez, for example, returned to one of the episodes that marked the Pulga the most: his missed penalty against Chelsea in the C1 semi-final in 2012.
“From his goals, I will remember the 0-2 in the Champions League at the Bernabeu… the guy dribbled players from Madrid, it was a spectacle. Leo whips himself when he loses. I remember he was crying the day he missed the penalty against Chelsea and he said: “It’s my fault” “, tells the emblematic former midfielder of Barça.
