Legend of the "Barcelona" team Xavi knows Lionel Messi well and recalled a very interesting story about the Argentine.
The Spaniard vividly remembers Lionel Messi's first training session with the "Barcelona" team. At that time, one of the best footballers in the world, was just 16 years old.
"We used to have this exercise where we had to play 1v1 against Lilian Thuram and Carles Puyol. And when I saw Messi playing against them, I just couldn't believe my eyes. I thought to myself: 'My god, that 16-year-old effortlessly beats professional defenders who play for their national teams,'" - Xavi remembered an interesting story.
