R. van der Vaart on L. Messi: "He is from another world"

On Wednesday, all football fans' eyes will turn to Madrid, where the second "Copa del Rey" semi-final match will be played between "Real" and "Barcelona".

Catalan leader Lionel Messi has been showing excellent form lately and he will be one of those players that the defense of the Madrid team will have to stop.

However, former Real Madrid defender Rafael van der Vaart is convinced that stopping the Argentine is simply impossible.

"He is from another world. I saw Messi's performance against Sevilla. Stopping him is simply impossible because he is everywhere.

When running with the ball, he uses both his technique and speed, making it very difficult to defend against him," said the Dutchman in an interview with "El Larguero".

Let's remember that the first semi-final match in Barcelona ended in a 1:1 draw.
