Much has been said in recent times about the performance and dimension that Lionel Messi has shown since his arrival at PSG. Even this week the Argentine was criticized for having missed a penalty against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
And if there is someone who knows the star born in the city of Rosario well, it is the Spaniard Cesc Fàbregas, who spoke extensively in ‘Mundo Deportivo’ and who began by giving a particular definition of ‘the Flea’.
“Messi is happy when he wins, when he scores and when he manages to be decisive. That’s why he has been who he is for fifteen years. The closest thing to him is Cristiano Ronaldo, but I haven’t seen anyone like him,” said the Spaniard.
The Monaco midfielder, who plays in the French League, also referred to the ‘stick’ that the Argentine is given in the media in his current stage at PSG.
“I’ve read things about people who shouldn’t have seen him play against Real Madrid. Without being stellar, he played a good game. He left Mbappé alone in the first half with a pass that no other of the twenty-one players on the field would be capable of of doing.
He got between the lines well, gave Neymar another assist that could have been a goal… He missed a penalty. And? Judging him for that seems ridiculous to me. Football goes much further”, concluded Cesc Fábregas.
