PSG vs Real Madrid: Casemiro makes claim about Messi ahead of Champions League tie

Real Madrid midfielder, Casemiro, has claimed it is impossible to stop Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi alone.

Casemiro said this ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League round of 16 first leg tie against PSG on February 15 at the Parc des Princes.

The Brazilian also hailed Messi as one of the best three players in football history.

“Messi is one of the three best players in history. You’ve to be a team to stop him; it is not possible alone. Against PSG, we will see a great game,” Casemiro told Panenka Magazine.

He added, “Messi and Cristiano have transformed football. Before, top scorers scored 20 or 25 goals. And these two arrive and start dialling 40, 50, or 60. It seemed impossible. They changed the sport.”
