Messi may not have scored in
yesterday's game, but he had so much influence on Barcelona's attacking play.
After the game, the 32-year-old Barcelona captain said, "I am still
getting started.
"This the first time that
I have completed 90 minutes. As the season goes on I will gradually let
loose."

Messi was asked about his
relationship with Antoine Griezmann, one of the team's summer signings, to
which he replied, "Obviously we have no problem. There is a good
relationship with everyone. We are united. We had trouble getting going in
this game, but we are getting better."
Barcelona manager Ernesto
Valverde said, "It's the first game he started and finished.
'And it was the first game with
a real physical strain because of the rival. And we know he can decide a game
with one piece of skill.'
Antonio Conte, Inter's manager,
was quite unimpressed with the refereeing of the game and the treatment he
received from referee Damir Skomina who booked him in the second half.
'We could have had a penalty in
the second half. It was a very doubtful decision. Then they equalized,' he
said.
'People who know me, know I
find it hard to take defeat but there is some satisfaction coming here against
a team that is set up to win the Champions League and we were able to hurt
them, not as much as we could have.
'You know in these games
everything can change with one move or goal. The glass is half full because of
the attitude and the way we played. But the glass is half empty because we go
home with nothing.'
Of his yellow card he added: 'I
showed respect [to the match officials] but they have to respect us too. I am
upset, I'm upset that we lost the game.'
