Lionel Messi insists Real Madrid 'weren't best team in Champions League' despite final win
Lionel Messi insists that Real Madrid ‘weren’t the best team’ in this season’s Champions League, despite the Spaniards beating Liverpool 1-0 in the final in Paris.
“The Champions League is about situations, key moments, psychological moments that take a team, where the slightest error can eliminate you and those who are best prepared for those situations end up winning or reaching the final.
And it was something that Messi has labelled as ‘tough’ and ‘difficult’, which could hint at his desire to return to Barcelona in the near future. “It’s one thing to do it when you’re younger and you want to, but at the time I didn’t want to and I didn’t imagine or expect it.”
