Napoli’s Diego Demme has underlined how hard it is to contain Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
The pair came face-to-face in the spring, when the clubs played the first leg of their Champions League last-16 encounter, a match that finished 1-1 in Naples.
August 8 is the date scheduled for the return leg, and while Barca are rocking after ceding the Primera Division title to eternal rivals Real Madrid, Demme is focused on the prospect of tackling Messi, who was publicly critical of his side after a shock 2-1 loss to Osasuna in midweek.
