In case you didn’t know…
Despite playing in an era which had legends like Diego Maradona and Zinedine Zidane, Fernando Redondo remains an exquisite midfielder of his time.
The mercurial Argentine was known for immaculate touch, elegance, and presence in the midfield, and his glittering club career is a testament to his caliber on the pitch.
Redondo won two Champions League titles in three years at Real Madrid and Milan and also, league titles in the respective clubs in his career. His international career was cut short, mostly due to injuries as he featured only 29 times for Argentina.
Despite his short-lived career with his national team, Redondo’s club career still remains prominent.
Especially, his moment of magic in a sensational performance against Manchester United in the knockout stages of the Champions League is still famous. No wonder Redondo garnered huge praise from Sir Alex Ferguson, who claimed that the midfielder has ‘magnet in his boots’.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi is still the center of attraction in Europe at 31. He is leading the race for the European Golden Shoe with 33 goals and leads the charts for goals scored and assists provided in La Liga.
The heart of the matter
Fernando Redondo appeared before the press on Monday and hailed Messi, claiming that he will never get tired of praising his fellow Argentine.
What’s next?
FC Barcelona will travel to the Santiago Bernabeu to face Real Madrid twice in the coming days. Once again, all eyes will be on Messi to make the difference.
