Live bar June 20, 2011 Milan and Barca in the Champions League quarter-finals, in a return defense, Nesta staged a classic skate bar against Messi, Messi's speed and Nesta's experience and quick reaction are very impressive. Messi was at his peak and was stepping very fast. Nesta is already very old, and it has been a bit difficult to defend Messi. In an interview with Bad Stars, Nesta recalled an embarrassing experience about the game, when Nesta, who was under a lot of pressure from Messi, could only block Messi's progress by fouling.
Nesta said: "I would have played with experience at the time and I felt fine at home, but it was frustrating for messi to make 10 threats in my defence zone in about 10 minutes, when I was very old and had started to show some struggle. I defended him well in the first 9 times, and on the 10th, I fouled me because he was about to knock me unconscious. ”
"I fell to the ground for two seconds, very embarrassed, and I opened my eyes, and he was about to help me up. Then I accidentally kicked him, but he still wanted to help me up. It made me feel guilty that he beat me on a psychological level. ”
In the second leg, Nesta's classic skate against Messi became a classic.
However, Milan lost 3-1 to Barca in that match and was also eliminated by Barca. Nesta received a yellow card in both matches. Under the pressure of Messi, Nesta, who is gradually weakened, can only stop Messi's progress by committing fouls.
Then, Nesta talked about the contrast between Ronaldo and Messi, saying: "I have played against Ronaldo and Messi, Messi is amazing, and Ronaldo can score more than 40 goals in a season. They all show their strength in their own way, and if I could choose, what I wouldn't want to meet was Messi: if I had a choice, I didn't want to meet Ronaldo, but Messi, really, really didn't want to meet Messi. ”
