Today I ready finished the project im due to hand in on fridau. So im having this huge barca nostalgia day. This match stands out the most for me: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FRISUPP70E0
The moment Messi became mentioned in the goat debate indefinitely.
I was in college all day, had a date in the evening in a bar. They broadcast this match as I knew they would. After the third goal im not even paying attention anymore. Just in awe at how amazing Messi is, best player ever.

What the hell is this? I hope it’s not true. I am sure he didn’t mean it like this but it sounds horrific. 
Eric Abidal has seemingly hit out at former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi for telling him to stop sending the club's senior stars videos of his recovery from liver cancer.
The former full-back, though, explained how Messi had called on to stop doing so as it was bumming them out - a decision that still rankles with Abidal seven years on.
He said: "I was very thin and before a game, I made a video to send to the players to cheer them up and send support.”
"Do you know what Messi told me? Don't send us things like that anymore because it hurts us. I didn't see it like that, I was trying to encourage them but they told me they saw me like a corpse and it left them upset."

Probably poor translation and it's from Marca, so it's no surprise. They try to spin lies it's the only thing they always do.

Haha imagine Abidal said that about someone unpopular there would be a meltdown.
Why the fuck would he even tell something like that to the media. Some things should stay between players.
If true, it`s pretty rude from Messi, there`s no doubt about that. But I understand that something like that would somewhat fuck up their concentration before a game. I know I was pretty upset when I saw my friend who had cancer for the first time.

It's taken out of context. Messi meant he was very upset so much so that he would prefer Abidal not to send videos as it was heart wrenching and the whole team feels sad bcos of that. The newspaper written and pulling out random quotes in such a way that it seems Messi didnt want Abidal to be a burden mentally and jeopardise their chance at winning the trophy.
Clearly the same propaganda bullshit from the one and only Marca.
It's two different quotes not in the same sentence, and they string it together to make it look bad:
"Do you know what Messi told me? Don't send us things like that anymore because it hurts us."
"I didn't see it like that, I was trying to encourage them but they told me they saw me like a corpse and it left them upset."

That original text is not from Marca I dont think.
By looks of it Marca only really published the quotes.

Yeah but they only take a few quotes out of context to maje it look really bad. I knew it's not a coincidence when it's from Marca. I would love to see the full interview with full translation, and it would be a whole different story.

Here is a video. Don't understand French so don't know how good translation is though.
