PSG star and Barcelona legend Lionel Messi has suggested Real Madrid were lucky to win the Champions League after claiming Carlo Ancelotti’s side were not the best team.

Messi also claimed PSG were the better side against Real Madrid last season but only lost due to small details.

“Last year was difficult for me, it was hard after a very big change, after being in the same place for so long,” the Argentine began.

“The objective [this season] everyone knows. PSG have been eager for a long time to win the Champions League.

“Last season’s elimination was very hard because of how it happened, because we had played two great games against Real Madrid and the tie was lost in small details.

“It is an unusual season, because the World Cup is in the middle, but the main objective of PSG, like every year, is to be able to vie for the Champions League.

“It is a very difficult competition to win, because it is not always won by the best team. It is always decided by small details, any mistake can see you removed from the knockout rounds, but we are preparing ourselves for when those tough moments come, we are at our very best.”
