If we had been told a few months back that Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos would experience a bromance at Paris Saint-Germain, you can imagine that we would not have believed it. A decade of sporting rivalry, one at Real, the other at Barça, one chopper, the other chopped. But all that is in the past: today, the Spanish defender, back in the Paris group for the trip to City, is “a great person” according to the Argentine in an interview with Marca.
Messi did not fail to point out the strange feeling that initially tormented his heart to ‘back off’. “ At first it was weird, after so many years of rivalry, as captains of Barça and Madrid, after so many Clasicos played, so many fights on the pitch…, said the Argentine striker. We have always respected each other a lot, even though we have been great rivals in these Clasicos. “
Messi relies on Ramos
The Argentine now hopes to be able to regularly count on the Spanish international in the defense of PSG. “Little by little, he is joining the team and I hope he will play as quickly as possible, because he will be fundamental to achieving our goals. “Even if it means taking advantage of this new friendship, you might as well do it in the field.
