Barcelona forward, Lionel Messi is still an irreplaceable presence for La Liga, Luis Milla has said.
Luis recently revealed that the Argentine should stay put at the club despite seeing life go on since Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit.
According to him, Messi must avoid an exit like that of Ronaldo as he is still the undoubted star in Spanish football, because his absence would be felt in the league more.
He added that if Messi leaves Barca in the nearest future, it would be an almost impossible void to fill in La Liga.
His words, “I think it is great for Spanish football that Messi has stayed. He’s an ambitious player and wants to win titles,”
“That didn’t happen for him last season and, on top of that, he wasn’t connecting well with the sporting director and there wasn’t a good feeling with the directors and president in general. Also, there were tensions regarding the change of managers during last season too.
“Essentially, Messi is a mature player in his approach to situations like this. He knows that Barcelona is a club that fits with his style of playing football and shares a winning mentality too.
“Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo has left La Liga and life goes on and Messi could go in the future and life would go on in La Liga too… with other great players…but players like Messi are just not replaceable, they are one-of-a-kind, one-off players.
“Yes, La Liga would survive without Messi but it wouldn’t be the same. I’m glad that he has stayed.”
