On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain experienced a big disappointment with the elimination against Real Madrid (1-0, 1-3) in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Always close to Parisian striker Lionel Messi, his former teammate, current FC Barcelona coach Xavi, contacted him to support him.
“I have a friendly relationship with Messi and we are talking. I sent him a message to encourage him. These are times that happen. When it looked like everything was going to be fine for Paris, Madrid reacted within 25 minutes “When you drop in intensity, an opponent can always crush you. Whether it’s Madrid or Osasuna (Barça’s next La Liga game on Sunday, editor’s note). I think that’s what happened”, analyzed the Blaugrana coach facing the press this Saturday.
