Jose Mourinho, former Manchester United manager, has given Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi a new name, describing the Barcelona superstar as ‘the God of Football.’
This came after Barcelona’s 3-0 win over the Reds, Liverpool on Wednesday in the Champions League semi-final tie.
Messi scored a brace in the second 45 minutes of the Champions League semi-final first leg at Camp Nou as Barcelona thrashed Liverpool 3-0.
This was the same scoreline in Manchester United’s defeat by Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie.
Mourinho talked about Messi’s performance in the game against Liverpool on the Manchester Evening News, as they quoted the former Real Madrid boss as saying that, “God of Football made it completely different.”
“Fabinho and even [Roberto] Firmino looks small [for the Messi’s free-kick] but is not small.
“Firmino is the last one but this side, the goalkeeper gave one metre to the diagonal to cover that situation and it’s impossible to stop.
“Luis Suarez’s movement [for the first goal] is phenomenal. One metre here, and I bring the defender with me, at least mentally because the defender thinks I’m going in that direction and now I’m going to attack the space in front. And goodbye.”
