Enrique Cerezo: We will try to bring Messi to Atletico Madrid
The odd comment came ahead of the clash with Barcelona at the Calderon when he spoke to BeIN Sports
Enrique Cerezo demonstrated his sense of humour when it comes to avoiding difficult questions. The Atletico Madrid president claimed he would try and sign Lionel Messi at the end of the season.
The odd comment came ahead of the clash with Barcelona at the Calderon when he spoke to BeIN Sports. Cerezo was asked about the chance of Fernando Torres signing a new deal in the coming weeks. The chief responded “We are trying to sign Messi, everything else is secondary.”
Messi went on to score the winner in the game as Barça won 2-1. Rafinha gave the Catalan side the win, but Diego Godin had equalised for the home side at the Vicente Calderon.
The three points moves Barça to the top of La Liga, although Real Madrid can move back to top spot if they beat Villarreal later on Sunday.
