Courtois: There is no difference between Messi and Celta striker

Real Madrid goalkeeper said Barcelona star Lionel Messi is like any other player for him, express.co reported. 

His remarks came ahead of a clash against Barcelona.

“Messi? For me he's like any other player,” Courtois said. “We study him like we would study a player from Celta Vigo or Levante. There is no difference.

“It was the case during my first season with Atletico Madrid, especially when you play Camp Nou for the first time, with all these stars. "At that moment, if you don’t think about it, it is because something is wrong with you.”
