Fortunately for all of Barcelona, the dispute with Lionel Messi is now part of the past. After the Argentine’s request, an agreement was reached to remain in the powerful Catalan squad.
In fact, this Saturday, the South American footballer himself was the starter and captain in the first pre-season friendly in Barcelona, which also meant Ronald Koeman’s first meeting as technical director of the first team.
And, although there were no great lights, the last runner-up in the highest category of Spanish football was left with a quiet 3-1 victory against Gimnastic de Tarragona, a team that plays in the rise of the aforementioned European country.
But, in addition to this result, the game in question left other things and one of them was broadcast this Sunday through the television program ‘El Chiringuito’. Who uncovered it was a player from Nastic himself.
The protagonist of the anecdote is Javier Ribelles, a midfielder who saw action against Barcelona and who had to mark Messi himself. Under that orbit, the Argentine star made him a very special request in the middle of the game.
“Messi told me: ‘Stop kicking me, boludo'”Ribelles expressed, immediately generating laughter from all those present. And yes, it happens that the only way to stop one of the best players of all time is to hit him …
