Requested change and Rijkaard is not thought twice before giving entry to Bojan. Although the'19 'requested more time, 90 minutes remaining key at Old Trafford and there, in Manchester, Messi will be decisive.

While on the pitch, the striker did not stop trying to create holes in the defense of the 'Red Devils'. We tested with walls, driblando individually, with long passes, with centres. He did everything he could to break a pace that was unwavering. But the best news is that he saw with much more pace than in previous encounters. And that, for the round of the semifinals, may be key. If Messi is well at Old Trafford if he can finish the encounter, Barca will have a good chance of playing the final in Moscow. Yesterday only tried a shot, unfortunate, but his football again encourage the tier and, most importantly, the team. While he played almost all the balls went through their boots. His colleagues believe in him and know that is his greatest asset. So we must seize it. His change few people understood this, but what was he himself who asked. With him on the field the last half hour could be different, but this is mourning two parties and The finalist will play from that day 29. There will be.

" The Argentine, however, recognizes that the eliminatory before Manchester United is all or nothing for them: "This is what we have. In these two matches, we are staking the season. "

It will be very entire world awaiting their particular duel with Cristiano Ronaldo, the number one determinant of United, but Messi does not want to make comparisons: "I do not know who is better of the two, it should say the people." The crack blaugrana feels butt for this Vital encounter and completely recovered from the muscle rupture he suffered: "I am well and win. The míster decide, but if it is for me, I want to play the whole 90 minutes. As he gets from the party, I shall see how I am. "

Leo Messi yesterday repeated more than once during a press conference the word "enjoy".

It is a beautiful game to play and enjoy, and more this year. I think it is a very nice opportunity to be able to play an end of the Champions

And for Barça could defeat a rival entity of Manchester United, Messi is clear that the fans must play an essential role. "We know how the people after recent parties League. But this is the Champions and it is completely different. Provided that this competition was played, the fans were with us, "said the striker, who added that" we are confident that we can take this party forward and ask only that people have The same confidence. Let them come and see how we are to move this elimination. "

Leo even dared to give the formula for Barça defeat today at the British: "We must have the ball and play our pace. Thus, we can do them a lot of harm. " That yes, 'flea' also hopes that the team has the blaugrana pinch of fortune that has been lacking at some parties: "Let's see if we luckier than before Espanyol, and we had many occasions, but not Succeed mark. "

Messi has full confidence in his colleagues, despite the absence of some 'illustrious':

It is true that we have major players like Ronnie who could not be, but all the others are fine. We have a template with huge players and we must prove it

Despite this great trust, the Argentine does not hide the potential of rival:

Frankly, I do not believe that there is a favorite. I think that the two parties will be very uneven

The barcelonismo clings to nail burning Messi before the United Cristiano Ronaldo of

The Champions and the Golden Ball as a backdrop for an exciting fight

Barça against Manchester Messi against Cristiano Ronaldo, Ball Bronze Ball against Silver, 20 years against 23. One means hope, the other is the cherry. This raises the star of the semi-final Champions League. Two giants of world football arrive at Camp Nou to the great quote from Wednesday in an entirely different situation. The Barça has already thrown the League Cup and has left a string of exciting cracks on the road. The Manchester aims to double League-European Cup with Cristiano Ronaldo piece of luxury in a spiral of luxury in which everyone working in a single direction. Not only is curious, even paradoxical: in August anyone could have opted for that Description fit perfectly into the profile of a team with Ronaldinho, Henry, Etoo, Deco and Messi in its campus. At the moment of truth, this Barça clings to a single player, even a player who has just emerged from an injury to dream with the finals in Moscow.

The great year for Christian

Messi has become the burning of barcelonismo nail. But beware, Messi is much nail. There can spread discouragement absolute when a striker of that caliber Plays on your computer and not on his opponent, even if the opponent also has equipment and, above, Cristiano Ronaldo. Without getting into comparisons, how many fans Barça to change by Christian Messi?

True, the season playing for the moment in favor of the Portuguese Old Trafford. In its fifth year in Manchester is touching perfection: 28 goals in 31 matches in the Premiership, 7 in eight Champions League, 7 of their last 8 partidosgoleando ...

Data Are there, but nobody can win with Messi. Only injuries have prevented Leo complete this year a progression that was absolutely paint to be as good as that of Christian. Its nine goals in the League and six in Europe certainly would have been many more in the absence of muscle injuries.

Luckily for Barça, Messi has arrived in time to go to the team on his back, or at least try. The club will play two matches on the season, three if all goes well. And Messi will be there, ready to pull a stranded car, which the League has retained only 9 of the last 27 points at stake. The hope is that such precedents parties are not always determinative.

Hand to hand Play Station


Both Messi as Christian are two cracks on Play Station. Not only because it is part of the business, also because they are former child of a generation that has learned to race in the virtual screen as much as At football matches. In an interview in Man, Messi admits that with the Play, "the truth is that I am really good. Game constantly, I love being me at the console. The good news is that the versions of this year's superbueno, really. Last year was fair, but this year's tremendous (...). My digital version is better than the real one, do not forget. "

Cristiano Ronaldo, as noted in the filing of its 2008 game "is much more direct in virtual version Because whenever I will go for the goal "is" a bit strange "making oneself with the controls, although at the same time boasts overcome" in the concentrations to Rooney and Pique, who are good. "

Now comes the real battle, not virtual. There is a European Cup at stake and who knows if the next Golden Ball, and many anticipate for Cristiano Ronaldo. But even before Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi is much Messi. Eating Leo!

The last Argentine striker aware that its preparation will be key to Manchester United

Leo Messi will have to win the Champions League.
