"It's nice to face one another,"
Messi told Bud Football.
"He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment, and it's always good to fight against the best ones.
"It's an extra motivation to be able to, or to try to, score a goal, with what it means and how hard it is, as he proves in every game he plays.
"So, it's nice to see him outside but also face him in the games. It makes them more exciting."
