Lionel Messi is the new PSG player. The Argentine is particularly looking forward to a professional at the Paris capital club.
Lionel Messi raved about his future teammate Marco Verratti when he was introduced as the new Paris Saint-Germain player and revealed that the Italian was one of FC Barcelona’s dream players in the past.
“Verratti has shown that he’s a great player. He’s one of the world’s best in his position! He’s a phenomenon,” said the 34-year-old. “Barcelona wanted him, but now it’s the other way around and I’m going to join him in Paris.”
Messi: Verratti as good as Xavi and Iniesta
“Without a doubt,” European champions Verratti are on a par with Messi’s former team-mates Xavi or Andres Iniesta, with whom he won the Champions League four times at Barca, Messi continued.
The 28-year-old Verratti has been playing for PSG since 2012. Verratti and Messi have already met eight times in the Champions League. Now they are supposed to bring the handle pot together to the French capital.
