“I liked it when Pep asked the referee to replace me after Messi’s assists.” Zlatan’s chic story about the growth of Xavi, Iniesta and Messi

Zlatan Ibrahimovic played for Barcelona for only 2 years, but during this time he left many legendary quotes in history. Here is one of the lesser known ones.

“At Barcelona I was the tallest player on the pitch, but when Iniesta and Xavi have the ball, they always see Messi. I don’t blame them because Messi never disappoints with the ball at his feet – either it’s a goal or an assist.

But what I really liked is when they find Messi on the field, and then Messi finds me. And then Zlatan scores from Messi’s pass, and Pep Guardiola jumps up and calls the fourth official to raise the substitution board to replace Zlatan, who scores goals.
