As well it said the trainer of the Olympique of Lyon just after the party of this Wednesday, Bruno Génésio, "Messi is imparable when it is motivated". Although in some phases of the meeting Messi 'parked' as it is used to to do for dosificarse and choose better his interventions, once again went back to appear when his team more needed him, annotating the goal of the tranquility and delivering two assistances to follow with the party, after having annotated also the 2-0 with a soberbio launching of penalti 'to the Panenka'.

Yes, Leo Messi went back to show that it wants to conquer this title of Champions League at all costs, and that there will be rival, by very strong that was, that can interpose in his way. After the party showed humble in his statements, standing out the big quality of all the teams classified for quarter-finals and without wanting to choose to any possible rival in particular.

The draw of this Friday in Nyon (Switzerland) will match to the FC Barcelona with Ajax, Carry, Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City, Juventus or Liverpool, and seems that Leo Messi does not have any preference. If the Barça measures to a 'cenicienta' as the Carry, perhaps have more options to classify for semifinals, but sooner or later will have to measure against the best.

This has it very assimilated Leo Messi, to take out to relucir again his best level of game when it arrive the hour, as it has done in the present edition of the UEFA Champions League. It was able to annotate six goals in four parties of phase of groups, and with the two of eighth of final in front of the Lyon already is the 'Pichichi' of the tournament this year, equalised with a Lewandowski that already is deleted.

We remember that Leo Messi also leaves leader in the conflict by the Boot of Gold 2019 with 26 goals annotated in LaLiga Santander, to the time that is the maximum assistant of the big leagues of Europe. It dominates the individual classifications to numerical level, but when it is motivated is able of much more, as to go down to defend and recover he solito three balloons in the first-half in front of the Lyon.

The Champions League, much more that a title for Messi

To his 31 years, Leo Messi knows that they remain him few opportunities to go back to win the 'orejona', and wants to take advantage of to do with all those that can before hanging the boots, a moment that the lovers of the football do not want that it arrive never. It is the only point in which Cristiano Ronaldo has attained to surpass him by the moment along his career (5-4), and is not had to tolerate it.

Therefore, it is prepared to confront to the Juventus of Turín -the another big favourite of the tournament- when it was, in the next round of fourth or in semifinals or a hypothetical final. At stake there is much more that a title of Champions League. It is the prestige, the honour and, also, the possibilities to harvest individual prizes like the FIFA The Best and the Balloon of Gold.
