Barcelona star Lionel Messi admits being congratulated by Real Madrid legend Raul was one of the most memorable moments of his career. Messi was asked if there was a message from an opponent which he is particularly proud of.

"I remember, in the game against Real Madrid [in 2007], when the match ended Rául came up to me to congratulate me," Messi told Barca's website.

"He said a few things to me that, at that moment for me were very nice, because of who Rául was, for what that game meant, so the truth is I always remember that."
