Messi Underestimated by Courtois, Barcelona Sends Embarrassing Reply

DBasia.news –  The war began during the El Clasico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Starting from the statement of Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, who seemed to have underestimated Barcelona star, Lionel Messi in the match.

Courtois said he already knew the quality of Messi as he learned from the players of Celta Vigo and Levante. He revealed during his first season with Atletico Madrid, he had studied Argentina’s players.

“Did I think of Messi before this Clasico? Not really. “That was the case during my first season with Atlético Madrid, especially when you played Camp Nou for the first time, with all the stars,” Courtois said.

“At that time, if you didn’t think about it, it was because there was something wrong with you. But today, I don’t think about it anymore.”

“For me, Messi is a player like the others. A nightmare because of him? No, never. We study him like we study the players from Celta Vigo or Levante. There is no difference,” Courtois said.
