“I have won a trophy that you will never have” – When Ivan Rakitic opened up on teasing Lionel Messi at Barcelona

Former Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic once shared a hilarious instance of how he teased Lionel Messi during their time playing together for the Blaugrana. In a 2021 interview with La Liga TV, Rakitic revealed that he told Messi about one trophy that he had won which the Argentine will never win.

“I was speaking to Messi and I said: ‘you’ve won it all, you’ve scored all these goals, but I have won a trophy you’ll never have…you’ll never win the Europa League,” Rakitic said (via Instagram/@leo_era.10).
