Lionel Messi so Good Against Manchester City It Almost Made Ander Herrera Cry

Mark PattersonMar 23, 2015

Lionel Messi's performance against Manchester City had most fans drooling—but one football fan, Manchester United's Ander Herrera, was near tears at the majesty of the Barcelona player.

The Spaniard was speaking in a wide-ranging interview in El Pais (Spanish):

"

Ander: "The last time I cried? I almost cried watching Messi against Man City. He's so good! But anyway, I get emotional very easily."

Herrera also had plenty to say about his team-mates, mentioning the fact that his current skipper Wayne Rooney insults him in Spanish (affectionately, we presume):

Herrera in that: "Van Gaal seems a good man, maybe with a character that clashes on first meeting him, but good behind it all."
