Despite spending two years at PSG with Sergio Ramos, central defender Lionel Messi acknowledges that it may be challenging to play against him.

“I engaged Sergio Ramos in a lot of combat. That’s the player that irritates me the most,” Messi responded on June 18 in a YouTube interview. “After that, we teamed up, but we still grabbed each other during El Clasico games. El Clasico games are intensely competitive.”Between 2004 and 2021, Messi frequently faced Ramos of Real Madrid while playing for Barcelona. During that time, Barca seemed to be winning domestic tournaments against Real Madrid. The owner of Camp Nou won 24 championships in 17 years, including 6 King’s Cups and 10 La Liga wins. Ramos and Real Madrid, meanwhile, have only won five La Liga titles. Despite frequently being “taken care of” carefully by Ramos, Messi personally set a record by scoring 26 goals in El Clasico matchups.

Sergio Ramos Praises Lionel Messi as 'Best Player,' Despite Past Rivalry

Messi is training with Argentina alone right now. He clarified that Sergio Aguero, his previous roommate, had retired. “When Kun was on the national team, we always shared a room. Now that he’s retired, I have to live by myself. Messi declared, “I don’t have any other roommates.”

Olympic gold in 2008, the U20 World Cup in 2005, and the Copa America 2021 were all won by Messi and Aguero. Aguero’s heart condition forced him to retire at the end of 2021.

Messi and Argentina are getting ready for the Copa America defense campaign in the US. The captain of Argentina scored twice in a 4-1 friendly victory over Guatemala on June 14. The 2024 Copa America will see the defending World Cup and Copa America champions play three Group A matches against Canada on June 21, Chile on June 26, and Peru on June 30.

Ten South American countries and six CONCACAF regional teams will compete in Copa America 2024. The top two teams from each of the four groups into which these teams are split advance to the quarterfinals.
