"Barcelona" defender Javier Mascherano, who has reached the Champions League quarterfinals, praised his team leader Lionel Messi and the defeated opponents.
According to the Argentine, the striker is the best teammate he has had throughout his career.
"Playing with Messi is like living and breathing together with a legend. He is a completely perfect football player.
Everyone else is controlled by football, but not Lionel - he himself controls the game. The striker is a completely different level athlete and I have not seen anything like it in my 30 years of experience," said the world vice champion.
Mascherano also spoke about the defeated opponents in the quarterfinal series.
"Man City" is one of the top five strongest teams on the planet and we deserved global recognition for this victory".
