Milner: Messi can make you look stupid Barcelona Was nutmegged by the Argentine last season

Liverpool midfielder James Milner was nutmegged by Barcelona captain Lionel Messi in last season's Champions League semi-final first leg, but the Englishman sees the funny side of it.

The Premier League side lost 3-0 at the Camp Nou, despite performing well, but Milner recognises the quality of Messi.

The first game wasn't a fair result of the game, but football isn't fair at times," Milner said on the 'What I Wore' show on BT Sport.

"Then you've got that guy [Messi] on the other team, it's very hard to run as fast as you can with your legs closed and he can make you look stupid, but you know the free-kick he scored, the player he is, it's always going to be tough."
