Messi: Barcelona players hate Chelsea more than Real Madrid

February 26, 2006

Barcelona starlet Lionel Messi says his teammates HATE Chelsea more than Real Madrid!

The Argie whizkid declared: "There are players here who hate Chelsea more than Real Madrid - I never thought I would hear myself say that.

"I also never thought I would see something worse than the Boca and River Plate rivalry or even Brazil v Argentina - but this is.

"We would rather play Arsenal, Manchester United or anyone else than be on the pitch with Chelsea."

Messi, whose tangle with Asier Del Horno forced Chelsea to play with 10 men for 53 minutes, was happy to belittle Jose Mourinho's Premiership leaders.

He added: "Chelsea aren't the strongest of teams, they are definitely not better than Barcelona or a lot of other sides.

"The next game will be a battle but we are confident we will go through to the next round."

looks like the lil kid turned out to be a fire starter hopefully he won't burn on the second leg

lol yea, i hope he doesnt, cause hell i hate chelsea more than barca too

That's weird. Did he had to say it? Whatever. Still remember the game agaist Chelsea....and Del Horno, man.

i dont like chelsea.. they only at the top of the premiership because they have so much quality backup in their squad. man u and arsenal are better teams and next season theyll be back on top. i dont know why barcelona hate chelsea? they beat them and chelsea diddnt start bitching like you are now. i hope u play man u or arsenal soon. that would be a real match
