He told Barcelona’s official website: ‘I think it will be a very interesting game. Two big clubs playing against each other. Both clubs with great history and it will be exciting to see.
‘Both teams have fantastic players so let’s see who will be the strongest on the day. Obviously you have Messi, who makes the difference in every game he plays. It’s no secret.
‘Obviously at United you have [Paul] Pogba making the difference there. I think it will be a battle between Pogba and Messi even if it’s a collective sport. I think these games are all about the team and not individual players but these are the players that make the difference.’
