Pedro: L. Messi - The Best Player on the Planet, But There Are No Invincibles

Pedro with London's "Chelsea" tonight will clash with his former team from the Catalan capital in the UEFA Champions League.

Today evening, "Chelsea" will host "Barcelona" footballers at the "Stamford Bridge" stadium. This will be the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals on the Old Continent, in which "Barca" is considered somewhat of a favorite.

Great attention in this match is focused on Lionel Messi. Pedro did not spare kind words about his former team mate, but emphasized that the Argentine is not unbeatable.

"Messi is the best footballer in the world, but there are no invincibles," the striker told the English media. "Of course, we will face 'Barcelona' and Lionel. It is very difficult to stop this guy - he is fast, intelligent. But as I said, nothing is impossible."

"He is on another level. No one else can do things like Leo does. It was a huge honor to play in the same team with him. It is an achievement that I can tell my children about, because everyone will probably consider him the best in history," Pedro did not spare kind words about his now future opponent.

The clash between "Chelsea" and "Barcelona" will start at 21:45 local Lithuanian time.
