Messi: Barcelona does not give up any race

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has insisted that Barcelona never had the mind to surrender from the race to win the King’s Cup, as they managed to secure a place in the semifinals of this race last night.

La Liga leaders defeated Sevilla with a 6-1 result at Camp Nou and won the quarterfinals of the King’s Cup with a total score of 6-3. Philippe Coutinho scored two goals, with a goal scored by Ivan Rakitici, Lionel Messi, Sergi Roberto and Luis Suarez.

Messi played in this match, while in the first game he did not play. Coach Ernesto Valverde had faced criticism that he was underestimating this cup playing with weaker players.

Since the Argentine did not play in the first game, critics suggested that Barcelona was focusing on the Champions League and La Liga, prompted by the statements of Gerard Piques and Valverdes.

“They sais we got out of the title of King’s Cup or said we did not want this. Perhaps even my message, which I gave at the beginning of the season, is misunderstood, “Messi told Barca TV.

“The team wants to fight for three races, because this is Barcelona’s obligation every year. We do not shoot anything “
