Messi Dived Repeatedly Vs Liverpool In Our 2019 UCL Game – John Achterberg

Ex-Liverpool goalkeeping coach, John Achterberg has come out to brand Lionel Messi a diving c**t. He recently had his say while speaking on a recent podcast, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, when Liverpool faced Barcelona in their run to Champions League glory in 2019, he remembers Messi diving all over the pitch to get fouls, and he was particularly delighted when Andy Robertson put in a very strong challenge on him during the game.

John, however, added that he would still pick Messi over Ronaldo to play for his team.

His words, “When we played him I thought he was a diving c***. I liked it when we played him and Robbo smashed him so I thought: ‘F***ing do him, c***!'”

WOW.
