Liverpool midfielder James Milner spoke about the difficulties of playing against against Barcelona leader Messi, MARCA reported.
Liverpool went on to win the semi-final tie, but Milner is in no doubt about Messi's quality and ability to "make you look stupid," he said.
"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."
