In case you didn’t know….
Back in August, the Argentine wizard, in his first public address as a Barcelona captain, made it really clear in front of a packed Camp Nou that he and his team-mates will do everything possible to win the Champions League for the sixth time this season.
Barcelona had to endure watching their arch-rivals Real Madrid lifting the trophy for three consecutive years on the trot. Although Barcelona won the domestic double last campaign, Messi was far from satisfied because of their early exit from the Champions League.
With 10 goals in Europe this campaign, Messi seems to be determined to win his fifth Champions League with the Catalan giants. He has inspired Barcelona on several occasions this season and has helped them to be on track to win their third potential treble in the last decade or so.
The heart of the matter…
Valverde was very clear in his explanation about Messi’s desire to win this year’s Champions League but denied any kind of extra added debt of gratitude for a service of favour.
When asked about Messi’s newly received honour of Creu de Sant Jordi, Valverde heaped praise on the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
What’s Next?
All eyes will be on Messi once again as Barcelona host Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tonight at the Camp Nou.
