Marco Veratti ( On Rai1 ) 🗣️: "When we played again Barcelona's second leg in 2013's Champions League, Messi was injured, and doubts surrounded his participation. Our coach in the locker room didn't ask anything but, "Do you have Barcelona's starting lineup? Will Messi play?' The players were wondering the same. I said to my self  "I hope he doesn't play today " 

We entered the match,we scored, and were qualifying. Suddenly, I heard loud cheers in the stadium. It seemed a goal was scored. Everyone moved, and I saw Messi warming up. I said to myself, "Oh God, he's going to ruin us " , Lucas Moura approached me, saying, " They're cheering looks like they scored !

“I told him, "The goal is coming,  that's why they're celebrating. He entered, provided a crucial assist, and they equalized, progressing thanks to him and they qualified , I told Ibrahimović at the end of the match, " Why is football easy for Messi? " He said, "Messi is football's greatest player. If you want confirmation, ask defenders, not forwards."🔥🐐🏆
