Speaking after Barcelona’s convincing 5-2 victory over Atletico Madrid, Messi gave the following comments to AS:
“Their defence put some strong challenges in, but that is part of football.”
“I am happy with this week, with the contract renewal and this win. I have always felt loved here. The club has understood my feelings. The new contract is not about the money, it is about feelings.”
Barca’s next test is a trip to El Sardinero to play Racing Santander on Tuesday night. A fixture which Messi scored a brace in last season off the substitutes bench.
