‘He was not human’ – Lionel Messi wanted Barcelona to sign surprising Premier League star Lionel Messi admits Barcelona talked about signing Fraser Forster after declaring he was ‘not human’ following a 2-1 defeat to Celtic in 2012.
‘The performance of Fraser Forster against us was talked about for a long time,’ Messi said about the match.
The Scottish side secured the victory despite Barcelona having 89 per cent of the possession and 23 attempts on goal, when Messi was at his peak.
‘But the performance we’d put in away from home really carried us into the home one because we knew we’d have the fans with us.
Forster, 36, currently plays for Tottenham in the Premier League as a back-up goalkeeper to Guglielmo Vicario.
