The Atletico Madrid boss has come to the defence of the Barcelona star, who he says draws unfair opinions from their shared home country
Diego Simeone has hit out at critics of Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel Messi, particularly from his home country of Argentina.
Messi, despite winning everything there is to win with Barcelona over the course of his legendary career, has come up short on the international scene.
Argentina lost out in the final of the 2014 World Cup to Germany before falling in the finals of back-to-back Copas America to Chile.
