The praise of an FC Barcelona legend towards Lionel Messi, this is what he said

Lionel Messi is in Miami living a season away from Europe and where he hopes to be a little more relaxed, although with the sporting commitment that has always characterized him in a great project with David Beckham. However, what he achieved in Spain will hardly be replaced or forgotten. In Barcelona, the Argentine player lived an important process where, for many, he completed his legacy as a player.

Now, an FC Barcelona legend is already talking about what Messi means to the club and what it made him feel when he saw him at his best with the Blaugranas. Lionel Messi won numerous titles and led the club to one of its most successful stages in history where he won a sextete. Now, Francisco Carrasco, a legendary former player of the club, has high praise for Messi, despite the tensions between the player and Barcelona after the player's departure.

“Messi, you know, still hasn't handed over the crown. There is a man who is desperate, who wants to throw it away: Kylian Mbappé. Only two people have had me with the alarm clock and standing. One is Michael Jordan, who did not interest me if he scored 50 or 60 points because he was wonderful,” he began to describe Francisco Lobo Carrasco in his monologue. Then, in his barrage of flattering adjectives, it was time to find out who that second human being was that kept him up at night.

What else did Carrasco say?

“I haven't seen anyone that I fell in love with more because of the aesthetics they had, which are spectacular. The nights are my time, because I am looking for beauty, excellence and in that cocktail that football art is included, Leo Messi continues to provide. At dawn, but he keeps giving it. It doesn't allow me to sleep, but it allows me to continue living longer,” said the 64-year-old former player with moist eyes in front of his teammates.
