Arsenal manager Arsene Wenegr has joined a long list of football people to have praised Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi. The Argentine maestro was again at his devastating best with two goals in the 2-0 victory over Spanish rivals Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu last night.
His latest performance was enough for Gunners boss Wenger to use superlatives when speaking about the 23-year old Barca great.
"Messi has qualities that are mental: humility, desire to play, happiness to help the team, always desire, you never see any bad reaction despite all the kicks he gets," said Wenger.
"When you look at the numbers, you have to kneel down and say they are fantastic.
"When a guy scores 52 goals in modern football and 25 assists, when you see how difficult it is to score a goal, you just have to say it is absolutely exceptional what this player is delivering."
