An unusual rule that the Barcelona players had with Messi is revealed and it surprises

Messi's time at FC Barcelona was very curious. The Argentine player was one of the footballers who certainly marked an era in the Spanish team and for many he is the best player in its history. However, there have been comments at some point from former players and even coaches about how protected the footballer was within the club, and now, a former defender of the team reveals a rule they had in training with Messi.

In an interview for Ligue 1 Show, the Frenchman recalled a curiosity from his time in the culé team. "In Barcelona they didn't allow us to touch Messi in training. He sounds crazy, but it's true. We had to be careful," explained the defender. A 'norm' more than understandable for Todibo. "It's normal, he's the best, you don't want to hurt him," he pointed out.

The Frenchman joined the Catalan team at a very young age as one of the great promises of European football. However, his two years in Spain were not fruitful, playing only five games. After that, he tried loan spells at Schalke and Benfica until he ended up at Nice, where he has settled definitively, even arousing the interest of big teams like Manchester United.

Where is Todibo now?

Jean Clear Todibo, a French defender who spent his time at Barcelona without much success and who is now shining at Nice in his country's Ligue 1, revealed a curiosity that he experienced during his time at the Catalan team. For many, he was one of the team's possible defensive references for the future, but things did not go in the best possible way. Now, he demonstrates his high level in the French league where he is one of the strongest defenders in the championship.
