Messi slams Barca crisis talk after Milan and Real defeats
Posted Tuesday, March 12, 2013 by The Sun
LIONEL MESSI has rubbished talk of a crisis at Barcelona.
And the Argentine superstar insists the Spanish giants will keep their Champions League hopes alive tonight with a stirring comeback at home to AC Milan.
Barca are 2-0 down from the first leg of their last-16 clash and head into the match after back-to-back defeats to arch-rivals Real Madrid.
But Messi said: “We are not in crisis. We have fallen to Milan and Real, two great clubs.
“Admittedly we have not played well, but against the Italians we still have 90 minutes to turn the situation around “We can do it. This club has shown on numerous occasions that it is able to overcome any obstacle.
“And now our main challenge is to beat Milan and move on to the next round of the Champions League.
“We want to achieve a lot this season and we cannot afford to fail.”
