Milan's "Inter" strategist Luciano Spalletti, speaking about the upcoming clash with "Barcelona," stated that Lionel Messi's return will undoubtedly have a huge impact.
L. Messi was included in the team's roster that traveled to Milan. L. Messi missed the last four matches, but even without him, "Barcelona" managed to defeat Madrid's "Real" and also beat the same "Inter."
L. Spalletti had nothing but praise for the Argentine: "As "Barcelona" has already shown, psychologically a team can still perform well even without Messi, demonstrating its exceptionalism.
It is clear that Messi in this team is like the cherry on top of the cake. His jersey is the one every kid dreams of wearing when dreaming about a professional career.
The best players always touch the ball twice, but Lionel touches it four times in the same time frame. He has raised the standards for football players.
The teachings he acquired in his childhood made him the best footballer in the world. But a team is a bit confused when they have to face Messi.
However, our approach to these matches does not change even when facing him. Of course, we need to be better at reading the game, but our plan remains the same - we will continue to defend areas and not individual players.
The most important thing is not the opponent's position, but your positioning on the field. There is no doubt that matches are taken more seriously when facing Messi because we are talking about one of the best players on the planet."
The clash between "Inter" and "Barcelona" clubs will take place on Tuesday evening.
