The Liverpool's midfielder has revealed that he did everything he knew how to do so as to ensure that messo doesn't get the ball in the second leg of the champions league. Liverpool beat the Spanish giants to qualify.
He said:
“The whole team defended – we left our life on the ground,” Fabinho told RMC Sport.
“I tried to do everything so that the ball does not reach him [Messi].
“We did not have a lot of time after a very difficult game in Newcastle but we are preparing a whole season to experience moments like that.
“After the first game I said that the result was not good but that our performance was good.
“We tried to do the same thing, to press, to give everything but we scored quickly and that made the difference.
“We still had the strength to keep the ball in the end. After the match with our fans it was amazing.”
