In statements conceded to the emisora "Wave Zero" and collected by the newspaper "Sport", among others half, Fabio Capello ensures that it asked to the FC Barcelona of Frank Rijkaard eleven years ago and after the dispute of a Trophy Joan Gamper between the Barça and the Juventus the cession of Leo Messi by a season. The Italian technician saw from the beginning the big potential of the Argentinian, but the Barcelona club did not want to lose him of sight. "Never it had seen at all the same in a boy of 16 years. At the end of the party went him to say to Rijkaard that already had three foreigners in the staff, that yielded it to us a year...I asked ficharlo, but could not buy because they did not want to sell it".

The Italian technician has elogiado to the "crack" of the FC Barcelona. "It is a sensitive boy, serious, had problems of money, family? Now it is calmer because these subjects are more or less fixed, and seems that it already knows where goes to finish? That is to say, now we are seeing to the best Messi. If you pay an entrance to go to the Camp Nou, know that you go to see something different, as when you went to the Scalinatta to see to Pavarotti".

And has clear that the result of the final of the Champions "will depend a lot of him. Before a party can study it all but afterwards invents a movement that anybody wait and changes it everything". Like this it sees Fabio Capello the final of Berlin. "The possibilities of the Juventus go through to defend very well, although it is missing them a very important footballer, that is Barzagli".

"I do not know if they will play with three or four defences, have a big goalkeeper, have a lot of personality but also in the half field are very good, with quality and good change of rhythm. They are not easy to brake, so sure that it will be a very balanced party. Technically the Barça is upper, are stronger and know to touch better? But neither they will have a lot of opportunities to play to the against. They have to have care with the counterattacks of the Juventus".
