Madrid: World Player of the Year Lionel Messi still believes Barcelona can overcome a 2-0 deficit against AC Milan in the Champions League next week despite their recent poor form.
The Catalans have lost three of their last four games, including two defeats to Real Madrid in the past week, but Messi is confident they can regain their best form when they need it most against the Italians on Tuesday.
“It is obvious that we have to do a little more. Lately we have come from a run of defeats and we are aware of what we need to do to change that,” he told reporters.
“There is a key game coming up for us to react and make this change.
“To come back is what we all want. We know it will be very difficult, but we believe it’s possible. If they can do it there, then we can do it here. We know that if they score a goal it will be more difficult.”AFP
