Barcelona beat Girona 3-0 on Saturday afternoon for matchday 6 of La Liga. However, Lionel Messi was not decisive in the goal plays or throughout the match. This has an explanation: midfielder Pablo Maffeo marked him personally and neutralized him until he left the field. After that, the Spaniard revealed what the 'Pulga' told him.
"Messi realized from the first minute that I was marking him man to man. He said to me: 'Do I have you all day?' And I replied: you are the best in the world, what can I do?", revealed the defensive midfielder to the program Tiempo de Juego from Cadena Cope.
"He asked me if I was on loan from City and about my age. He's very humble. We were talking because I was close to him almost the entire match. There was no bad blood or anything strange. He is the best player in the world and if you are not close to him, he scores a goal at any moment," Maffeo added about Lionel Messi.
