Lionel Messi spoke about Gerard Pique’s goal against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday night and admitted it was not planned.
The defender deflected a Messi free-kick to make it 2-0 and joked after the game “we practice it a lot and it came off perfectly.”
However, Messi sought to set the record straight after the match and also spoke about his delight at topping the group.
“The free kick didn’t come off but Gerard was in the area and he saw it and fortunately it went in but it was not something we had planned,” he said.
