Trippier: Simeone told me to pray because Messi can't be stopped

Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier recalled his experience of facing PSG forward Lionel Messi in the Spanish league.

The Englishman previously played in the Primera for Atletico and Messi for Barcelona.

Kieran Trippier, quoted by Goal
When we played Barcelona, Simeone basically told us to pray. You can't do anything with Messi. You can't adjust the game to stop him.

Messi scored seven goals and gave three assists at the 2002 World Cup in Qatar. He was named the best player of the tournament, while Argentina won the World Cup for the third time in their history.
