The head coach of Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde, claims that we should thank our parents for giving us the opportunity to watch Lionel Messi play.
L. Messi's surname once again resonated through the media on Saturday night. Led by the Argentine, Barcelona defeated Real Betis 4:1, with the footballer himself standing out with an extraordinary "hat-trick."
"We are very lucky to live in the same era as Lionel Messi. He was incredible in these matches," stated E. Valverde.
"Our opponents suffer from Messi, but they also enjoy watching him play. The match against Real Betis showed that. The public is starting to understand what talent he possesses. He is also respected for who he is," the coach praised his pupil.
After the victory, Barcelona now leads by 10 points in the La Liga championship.
