What Sergio Ramos had to say about Leo Messi after fighting for years

Few would have imagined a couple of years ago that Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos, two of the captains of Barça and Madrid, respectively, in one of the most heated rivalries between the two clubs, would one day share a dressing room and even become friends.

However, the truth is that both are now in their second season sharing a dressing room in Paris. In an interview with ESPN after PSG's 4-0 win over Nantes in the French Super Cup, the former Real Madrid captain did not hesitate to show his admiration for the Blaugrana legend.

"Having Messi as a teammate is a privilege for me, I don't need to congratulate him, he congratulates himself for the game he plays. Everyone knows who he is. I hope he continues like that," replied the defender from Camas when asked about the Argentine, who scored a goal in winning the first title of the season, as did Sergio Ramos.

Messi's teammates bow to him

Another teammate who praised Messi feet was Marquinhos. The Brazilian center-back, at the club since 2013, praised the Argentine attacker, as well as Neymar Jr, scorer of two goals and an assist. "Messi was very comfortable in a position he likes. I think the coach knew how to get the best out of the players today and it showed in everyone's performances, both 'Ney' and Leo," he said.
