“I see Messi like a bow Mbapp like an arrow. And Madrid has to worry a lot because the bow is not tensed and because the arrow does not come out,” Jorge Valdano said on Radio MARCA on Tuesday.
Pochettino: “Mbapp is the best in the world? Messi has seven Ballon d’Ors”
The ex-madridista, one of the best analysts on the planet, warned on sports radio of the importance that the former Barça player can have on one of the most important dates in the history of PSG.
The Argentine soccer player, whose performance in the first leg was discreet but positive, is having a somewhat gray season. But those of Ancelotti should not be trusted, now he arrives at his ‘garden’: the Santiago Bernabu. ‘La Pulga’ scored 15 goals in Chamartn during his 17 seasons as a Barça footballer.
The total round at PSG with Messi, Neymar and Mbapp
The whites still sting some of the Argentine’s deeds, such as the ‘double’ he did in the 2010-2011 Champions League semis against Madrid in Jose Mourinho. His last big performance was in 2017, when he defiantly showed his jersey to the crowd after scoring the game-winner. He made numerous ‘broken’ to the madridistas, although it is true that he hasn’t scored there for five years. A losing streak that he wants to break tonight.
Laporta: “Messi’s departure is the saddest decision I’ve ever made but I don’t regret it”
The one who warns is not a traitor
Own Xavi Hernandez, former teammate of the Argentine and current coach of Bara, sees him as the footballer who can blow up white hope. “I don’t know if it’s his ‘garden’, but Leo has done wonders not only at the Bernabu“, Said the Catalan this Wednesday at a press conference. He will follow the duel on TV, although he would love to continue listening to the Champions League anthem: “I know I will see it, I will not go to dinner. The pity is that we are not in the Champions League. He is a great match and may the best man win. I wish the best to Leo and Ney, who are friends.” The master would not dislike a ‘gift’ from his former partner.
It can be your big night
The PSG, who still has blind faith in him, signed him up to play the hero on dates like tonight at the white coliseum. Messi was signed to play ‘finals’ like the one this Wednesday. His presence is unquestionable because that is why they signed him and he was the most important signing in the 50 years of PSG history.
Leo has appeared so far with a drop count (he has 5 goals in 6 games and 540 minutes played in the Champions League), but today -against one of his favorite victims- he could become the idol of a PSG what is still waiting to the Messi of always.
