“He has not been able to show his maximum for a long time”. The Argentine goalkeeper Hugo Gatti has criticized Lionel Messi many times before.

 

Former Argentina goalkeeper Hugo Gatti has criticized Lionel Messi, saying that Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema is better than his compatriot Lionel Messi. This is not Gatti’s first statement, where he criticizes Barcelona’s top ten. He has already said many times in the past that Leo can no longer play as before.

“Messi is a star, and he has everything a top-class player should have. But at the moment Karim Benzema is better than him. You just have to watch football and realize that Leo has not been able to show his maximum for a long time. Benzema is doing more for the team. So, except for Cristiano Ronaldo, in recent years, the French have brought the most benefits to Real.”

Karim Benzema has played in 36 matches in the 2019/20 La Liga season and already has 21 goals and eight assists. Recall that Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 2: 1 in the 37th round and celebrated the Spanish championship for the 34th time.

75-year-old Gatti has spent the best period of his career in Boca Juniors. With the shirt of the Argentine national team, he has participated in 18 matches. In 1982, he was named the best player in the country.
