Quizzed about the Spanish teams, in particular, he added: “Real Madrid are always competitive. The same goes for Atletico and the two will be there fighting.

“They are two very difficult opponents in two-legged ties. They both know the competition very well and how to play it, which is why they are undoubtedly two of the favorites.”

Speaking on his former club, which has been in turmoil this year, Lionel Messi said: “Barcelona is going through a stage of reconstruction with a team in which there are many young players.

“Today I think there are better teams than Barcelona, but, although they give that impression now, that does not mean that later they will not be able to fight because we must take into account the arrival of Xavi, the renewed enthusiasm and the power to recover some players that they do not have now.

“They can keep growing and fighting.” He concluded.
