Champions League Final: Will It Be Messi Vs Nani Or Valencia?
Which player is more comparable to Messi's ability to create chances? Will it be Nani or Valencia?
The best there is in the world. Indeed he is. Lionel Messi is certainly a gem of his kind. The Argentinean has been in marvelous form of late and will definitely be the focus of tonight's Champions League final clash between Manchester United and Barcelona.
It's pretty easy to say that Lionel Messi has already engraved himself among the pantheon of greats in football's history and like all other legends, Messi is an individual that excites fans and causes mayhem in opposition defences to such an extent that most clubs collectively try to neutralize the threat posed by him.
Back in 2009, it was all about the Messi vs Ronaldo battle which the Barca talisman imminently won. This time around, the match will be a whole new dimension from their last meeting with the Red Devils performing well collectively as a team.
hen it comes to comparing Messi with an individual in United's line-up, Nani and Valencia comes to our minds. Precisely because of how effective both of them have been in creating chances and goalscoring opportunities for United. However, only one of them is set to be given a starting spot on the right hand side. Who will it be?
Topping the assists charts in the Premier League, Nani has been an absolute revelation for United this season. Nani is a player that has so many times been regarded as a flop but the departure of Ronaldo allowed space for him to shine and after a few glimpses of his talent last season, he has exploded into the big stage in this campaign.
