Former Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi surprised with his statement regarding another fierce rival of the team. There is a club that the Catalans hate more than 'Real'.
According to Messi, they hated the London 'Chelsea' more than the 'Royal Club'. He pointed out that he never thought he would hear such words from himself.
«I also never thought I would see anything worse than the rivalry between ‘Boca’ and ‘River Plate’ or Brazil and Argentina — but it is so. We would have preferred to play against 'Arsenal
Manchester United' or anyone else than to step on the field with 'Chelsea',» Messi said.Let us remind you, the last time 'Barcelona' and 'Chelsea' met was in the 2017/2018 season in the Champions League playoffs. Then the Catalans won by the results of two matches.
