Willy Caballero knows Lionel Messi well, and the Argentine goalkeeper knows just how insatiable the Barcelona captain’s thirst for goals and success is.
The pair played together with Argentina, but he also came up against the No.10 on a number of occasions in LaLiga Santander.
“Facing Messi, I had to suffer,” Caballero said to 90min.com. “He goes out to assassinate the goalkeepers.
“The goalkeepers, the defenders – he’s going to kill [them]. And killing means scoring as many goals as possible.
“He doesn’t care if you know him, if you’re Argentine or if you’re a friend. He’ll talk to you afterwards, greet you and everything else, but in those 90 minutes he’s on a mission to hit you with goals.”
