"The best team doesn't win the title very often" - this is what Lionel Messi said. He said that about the Champions League. He does not consider Real Madrid, the best in Europe, to be the 'best team' in the Champions League this year.
The Argentine and PSG star gave an interview to the Argentine media TYC Sports. There he talked about many things. Messi also reacted to Real's victory in the Champions League. According to him, Real Madrid may not have been the best team in the Champions League this time, but it is not the case that the team is the 'champion' of the Champions League, that the best team in any tournament will always win the title. Real Madrid was not the best team in the Champions League this year. But the team is the "champion" team in the Champions League. That's why despite not being the best team, they have won the title, lost everyone. '
Messi's PSG Champions League race has ended with Real Madrid in the last 16. Despite winning 1–0 at home in the first leg, Messi saw Real's formidable appearance at the Bernabeu. Despite Mbappe's goal, Karim Benzema's 18-minute storm shattered their dream. Real reached the quarter-finals with a 3–2 victory, winning the match 3–1 with a hat-trick from Benzema.
Messi thinks that the match was a terrible blow for PSG, 'Real finished us in that match. The result of that match is a big blow for us. ' Messi knows very well what kind of team Real Madrid is. After PSG in the last 16, Chelsea and Manchester City have lost in the quarter-finals and semi-finals to the strength of Real's turn. Messi has known for years his ability to turn around and knock down opponents, 'I know what Real Madrid is! My ups and downs with Real have been known for many years. I knew it could happen. Because, in any situation, they can score a goal and that goal can change the face of the match.
The Champions League title has been elusive for many years. He wants to win it again. "I want to win the Champions League again," he said. The thing that bothers me so much is that I can't win the Champions League. As I said before, it doesn't matter if the best team in the tournament wins the title. The Champions League depends entirely on what kind of game you are playing in different situations. There are certain moments, when you have to go north. In some moments you will have to fight with others, you have to win. In all those situations you have to pay for the slightest mistake. Under those circumstances, the team's preparation will be the sharpest, they will win the Champions League.
