The Argentine spoke with Canal Plus: “The styles of the two teams are similar. To be aggressive at the back and then play. For us, after finishing with ten men, the point is a positive one.”
Valencia centre-back Nicolás Otamendi spoke to Canal Plus after the 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid at the Calderón. He admitted that it had been a rough game and the point should serve Valencia well in their fight for third place and an automatic Champions League spot. “I recovered in the best way because this was the game in which we wanted it to be. We know Atlético are a team that like to hold on to the ball, are aggressive and are well organised. The draw is a fair result.” The Argentine continued: “The styles of the two teams are similar. To be aggressive at the back and then play. For us, after finishing with ten men, the point is a positive one. I don’t know if there were too many yellow cards but it was bad that we lost a key player such as Javi Fuego.”

It was another record-breaking day for Lionel Messi as the Barcelona maestro scored a hat-trick in Sunday’s 6-1 win over Rayo Vallecano at the Camp Nou.
A twice-taken penalty, a tap-in after following in a Luis Suarez shot and a piece of real quality in dancing past two men saw Messi make history with yet another Barca treble.
Here we take you through just some of the numbers that the Argentine genius has now racked up following his three goals at the weekend
By the age of 21, Messi had received Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations. The following year, in 2009, he won his first Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards. He followed this up by winning the inaugural FIFA Ballon d’Or in 2010, and then again in 2011 and 2012. He also won the 2010–11 UEFA Best Player in Europe Award. At the age of 24, Messi became Barcelona’s all-time top scorer in all official club competitions. In September 2014 he scored his 400th senior career goal for club and country aged just 27. In November 2014, Messi became the all-time top scorer in La Liga, and the all-time leading goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League.
Often ranked as the best player in the world, alongside rival Cristiano Ronaldo, and rated by some in the sport as the greatest of all time,[3][4][5][6][7][8] Messi is the first football player in history to win four FIFA/Ballons d’Or, all of which he won consecutively, and the first to win three European Golden Shoe awards. With Barcelona, Messi has won six La Ligas, two Copas del Rey, six Supercopas de España, three UEFA Champions Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups and two FIFA Club World Cups.
Messi is the only player to top-score in four consecutive Champions League seasons, and also holds the record for the most hat-tricks scored in the competition with five. In March 2012 he made Champions League history by becoming the first player to score five goals in one match. In the 2011–12 season, Messi set the European record for most goals scored in a season with 73 goals, set the goalscoring record in a single La Liga season with 50 goals, and became the first player ever to score and assist in six different official competitions in one season. In February 2013 he scored his 300th Barcelona goal. On 30 March 2013, Messi scored in his 19th consecutive La Liga game, becoming the first footballer in history to net in consecutive matches against every team in a professional football league. He extended his record scoring streak to 21 consecutive league matches. In March 2014, with a hat-trick against Real Madrid, Messi became the player with the most goals and most hat-tricks in the history of El Clásico. In October 2014, Messi, aged 27, became the youngest player to score 250 goals in La Liga. In November 2014, Messi scored a hat-trick against Sevilla to reach 253 La Liga goals, becoming the all-time top scorer in La Liga. Later that month, he scored his 74th Champions League goal to become its all-time leading scorer.
Messi helped Argentina win the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup, finishing as both the best player and the top scorer (with six goals). In 2006, he became the youngest Argentine to play and score in the FIFA World Cup, and won a runners-up medal at the Copa América in 2007, in which he was named young player of the tournament. In 2008, he won an Olympic Gold Medal with the Argentina Olympic football team. At the 2014 World Cup, he led Argentina to the final, winning four consecutive Man of the Match awards in the process, and received the Golden Ball award as the best player of the tournament. In 2013, SportsPro rated him the second-most marketable athlete in the world.[9] His playing style and stature have drawn comparisons to compatriot Diego Maradona, who himself declared Messi his “successor”.[10]
