Ferdinand's opinion on Messi's defensive tactics
Meanwhile, Briefly News had earlier reported that Lionel Messi was desperate not to let Paris Saint-Germain concede during their Champions League clash with Manchester City, Give Me Sport.
Pep Guardiola's men were awarded a freekick in the 90th minute while PSG were 2-0 up and the Argentine was among the defensive wall.
The 34-year-old humbly laid down on the ground knowing full well he is the reason many players do the same to defend free-kicks.
