Herrera defends Messi
« I admired Leo Messi before knowing him and after knowing him I admire him even more as a footballer and as a person. I understand that Paris is a place where there is not much patience. The obsession with winning the Champions League does not help (…) In the end, who pays? The best of the team receive the critics “, assures the Spaniard at the microphone of beIN SPORTSbefore continuing.
“In Paris, this patience and this calm do not exist”
« I think it’s the only team in the world which, if it doesn’t win the Champions League, lives a failure. All the others can have good seasons without winning, like Barcelona. But in Paris, this patience and this calm do not exist », added Ander Herrera.
