Rodrigo De Paul waxes lyrical about Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi was the star of the show for Argentina during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Rodrigo De Paul, one of Messi's close friends in the international team, recently praised the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.

De Paul said (via Asianet Newsable):

"What Leo Messi does is magic. You live with the surprise of what he will do and never finish understanding it. He's an alien. When you think he doesn't see you, he leaves you alone against the goalkeeper, when you think he's tired, he has a march more... it never ceases to amaze you."

Messi is currently in the final months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain and is yet to agree on a new deal. De Paul invited the Argentine to join him at Atletico Madrid. The midfielder said:

"Let Messi come here (Atletico Madrid). We tell Angelito (Correa) to give him 10 and we look for an apartment in the centre of Madrid."

Messi and PSG will return to action on March 19 as the Parisians host Stade Rennes in a Ligue 1 clash.
