Christian then went on to shower praises on Messi. The gaffer was simply a fan of Messi’s incredible finishing prowess and consistency, “Plus, when you have Messi, he just needs a chance, one second in the game. And you have to be very sharp to stop him from producing the magic he’s produced since he joined Barcelona when he was 16,” opined Charlotte’s coach.
