In a recent interview for Sportske Novosti, Zvonimir Boban attacked Barcelona’s forawards, Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr. With regards to the Argentine, the Croatian said:
“Someone should tell him the truth about himself, Messi should face Messi. He is absolutely unprepared, unfit and demotivated the whole time, except against Real Madrid, where he played with 30 per cent of his capabilities and showed how superior he is.”
