During the last eight matches, Lionel Messi has not managed to defeat London's "Arsenal" goalkeeper Petr Cech even once. Therefore, the Czech is eagerly looking forward to continuing this streak against the star of "Barcelona".
Both footballers faced each other with Cech representing London's "Chelsea".
However, this time the goalkeeper who has won the Golden Ball four times will face the sniping forward in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals already with the "gunners".
"It's great. Not many people can say they played against Messi for eight matches or some minutes, and he hasn't found a way to the goal", Cech said.
"But if he scores, however, we advance to the next round, it won't be important at all. The most important thing for us is to give ourselves a chance to progress further in the tournament."
The 33-year-old veteran recently broke the "Premier" league record - no player has kept more than 170 "clean sheets" in England's championship during their career.
