James Milner is still not over the infamous Messi's nutmeg he was a victim of several years ago. Milner used to play for Manchester City back then.
Barcelona played Manchester City in the 2014/2015 Champions League Round of 16. During the home fixture, Leo Messi cheekily nutmegged Milner and left him on his backside. That was a typical Leo Messi but Milner is still unable to forget this moment.
By the way, Barca won 3-1 on aggregate.
Milner recalls this nutmeg, as well as last season's Champions League clash against Barcelona, as he stars on the 'What I Wore' show on BT Sport.
Milner says on the 4-3 aggregate Liverpool win: "The first game wasn't a fair result of the game, but football isn't fair at times. Then you've got that guy [Messi] on the other team, it's very hard to run as fast as you can with your legs closed and he can make you look stupid, but you know the free-kick he scored, the player he is, it's always going to be tough."
Last season, Barcelona beat Liverpool 3-0 in the Champions League semi-finals. Leo Messi scored an incredible direct free-kick goal which was later named the UCL Best Goal of the Season. However, the Reds won the reverse fixture with a 4-0 scoreline and reached their second Champions League final in the row.
