Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi, has actually confessed that the best team does not always win in the Champions League.

Messi, who missed out on a penalty during PSG’s Champions League round of 16 first-leg 1-0 victory against Real Madrid on Tuesday night, stated it is tough to win the European competition.

Recall that Messi’s colleague, Kylian Mbappe, scored the only objective of the match to ensure PSG defeated Real Madrid in Paris.

Speaking With PSG Magazine, Messi said the smallest mistake could get a team knocked out of the Champions League.

The Argentine captain stated, “It’s not easy to win the Champions League due to the fact that it’s a competition that brings together the very best groups and where the tiniest detail, the tiniest error, can get you knocked out.

“I believe we have a team that can attempt and win it. We’re thrilled by that concept and we are confident that we’ll get there, but we have to take it step by action. Once again, it’s tough to win the Champions League. The best team does not constantly win.”
