The Argentine voiced his dismay regarding La Blaugrana’s 0-0 draw against AC Milan on Wednesday night.
The two European giants met at the San Siro to play out the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday.
Although both teams were able to put up a good show of football, neither side managed to find the back of the net as the game ended in a goalless draw.
A stalemate between AC Milan and Barcelona did not do any justice to the fixture and the fans expected a lot of goals but were left disappointed after the game.
Pondering over the point, football purists have raised questions regarding the condition of the pitch on Wednesday, as a goalless match between Barca and Milan has been received with disappointment by audiences all over the world.
Messi stated that the match should have ended in the favour of the Spanish giants as they were the better team. The Barca number 10 emphasized that his side created a number of chances and they should have taken more than a point from the highly competitive
fixture.
The forward also argued that the condition of the pitch did not allow the current Champions League title holders to effectively turn their chances into goals.
Pep Guardiola’s men were no less than impressive throughout the match and their attacking display was simply splendid.
On the other hand, the Rossoneri also managed to put up an excellent display as they were able to keep out the Catalans successfully.
Although Milan’s chances at goal were rare as compared to the visitors but they were threatening nonetheless and many believe that an early effort by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robinho-c31382 could easily provide the advantage to the hosts.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 warned that the return leg of the fixture, being the decisive match, is important for the Catalan giants while considering that Milan are a dangerous opponent, both away or home.
According to Barcelona’s official website, the 24-year-old quoted:
"It was a tough match that we should have won. We played our game but it was difficult because of the pitch, and because they [Milan] are very strong."
"It’s a dangerous situation. Either team could go through; we hope we can score in the return so it will be us. We deserved to win [the first leg]."
The second leg of the quarter-final between Barcelona and AC Milan will take place at the Nou Camp on April 3rd.
