*Munetsi Speaks On Man-marking Lionel Messi* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ui Warriors midfielder Marshal Munetsi said that playing against arguably the world’s best-ever footballer, Lionel Messi was a great experience for him. Munetsi, who plays for French League 1 club Stade de Reims, was tasked by the club’s manager to man-mark the superstar when the team clashed with Paris Stain-Germain in a league encounter last week. ---------- itel A70 256GB $99USD WhatsApp: https://wa.me/+263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- Messi, who was making his debut for the Paris club, was harassed by the Warriors midfielder. Despite Reims losing the match 2-0 thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s brace, the Mabvuku-born star stood toe-to-toe with the six-time Ballon d’Or winner. He also thought he had cancelled out Mbappe’s opener, only for his goal to be ruled out following a VAR intervention. > Speaking in a recent interview with NewsDay, the 25-year-old former Orlando Pirates player said it was a good experience for him to see Messi in person. He said: > Playing against Messi was a great experience for me, growing up watching him and winning six Ballon d’Or … all the things that he achieved with Barcelona. > It was a great opportunity for me and we tried as a team to get a positive result. We have had three draws. > Playing Paris Saint Germain was a huge task for us because they have top quality players including Messi, so it was a good experience for me to learn and to see him live in person. Messi was on the receiving end of a couple of tough tackles from Munetsi during the match, but the two were seen exchanging some pleasantries at the final whistle. Munetsi added: > Yeah, we spoke. It was those usual exchanges and he was just wishing me the best for the season and the usual good luck we always share after the game. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
