Lionel Messi |
Former Real Madrid and
Juventus manager Fabio Capello spoke to the media ahead of Atletico Madrid's
UEFA last-16 tie with Juventus, and also shared his opinion on Barcelona's
Messi. Messi is often compared to Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Italian tactician
believes Messi is a class apart from his rivals in the football world.
"Leo Messi is not a footballer, he is a
genius and the only genius in world football," he said, per Marca's Paco Roche and Gerardo Riquelme. "He has not won
much silverware with Argentina but that is because he cannot do it all
alone."
Capekllo is also an admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo,
whom he feels has been very impactful in Italy. "Cristiano has woken up a lot of Juventus
players," he added.
"Bringing him to the club has been a wake-up call
for many players and he has made them improve.
"He is very important for Juventus because having
someone as good as him at training every day and someone who takes care of
himself in the way Ronaldo does is hugely significant for a team that was
coasting.
"It is obvious that he is desperate to win the
Champions League with Juventus."
