Real Betis are about to take on the mighty Barcelona, who are currently leading the Spanish La Liga points table and their coach recently stated that he would love to play against a team consisting of Messi.
Barcelona are going to take on Real Betis over the weekend and their most valuable player, Lionel Messi, might not be available to play as he picked up a knee injury during the midweek fixture against Benfica.
La Blaugrana were to face the Portuguese giants, Benfica, in the UEFA Champions League group stages. The Catalan giants already qualified as group toppers for the Round of 16, and it was their last game in the group stages.
While Barcelona had nothing to lose, Benfica were trying to play for a position in the next round of the competition and they came out with all guns blazing at the Nou Camp.
Tito Vilanova fielded a second string team in order to give rest to his main players, and to give experience to the younger players who are mostly on the bench for the Catalan giants.
During the second half, the Barcelona coach brought on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who was expected to equalize Gerd Muller’s record number of 85 goals in a single calendar year.
However, just when he was about to score, he took a knock on his left knee and was stretchered out of the game, leaving many fans at the Nou Camp worried about their main player.
Soon, the Barcelona medical squad made it clear that the injury picked up by the Argentinean maestro is not a serious one and he will be back in action soon.
The Real Betis coach, who will be taking on Barcelona over the weekend, suggests that he is extremely happy to know that Messi is okay and would love to play against a Barcelona side which has the Argentinean maestro playing in it.
“I would prefer it if Messi plays. Our dressing room is happy that there is nothing wrong with him.”
“Clearly, if he does not play, then their team is weakened, but this is a show – Messi is the best in the world.”
“But Barca are not what they are just because of Messi.”
“We've always tried to play face-to-face with them – I think it's the best way to play. Otherwise it is just a betrayal.”
