"Barcelona" returned to the path of victories, and Lionel Messi once again showed the whole world why he is often called one of the greatest footballers of all time.
In the UEFA Champions League match between London's "Tottenham" and "Barcelona" on Wednesday, a Catalan victory was recorded with a score of 4:2. L. Messi contributed two goals to the victory and became the sole leader in the list of top scorers (5).
L. Messi stated that the Champions League is always an important tournament, but their goal is not just to triumph in Europe.
"The Champions League is like the icing on the cake for everyone," - Messi said after the match. - To reach that level where you can compete for the title, you must play well not only in the Champions League, but also in the league and cup competitions."
"We do not have a priority tournament. Yes, the Champions League is something special, but we also want to compete for the titles in "La Liga" and the Copa del Rey," - added the Argentine.
When asked how important it was to defeat "Tottenham" after not winning three consecutive matches in Spain, Messi replied: "We knew that there were doubts due to the recent results.
It is never easy to play an away match in the Champions League, especially against an opponent like "Tottenham". We played a really good game, we were especially good in the first half, so we are happy to have achieved our goal.""
