- The Italian forward asks his Instagram followers to stop the comparisons 'for the love of football'.
- Balotelli's words came after Messi's second goal vs Liverpool.
Mario Balotelli was watching Barcelona vs Liverpool and couldn't help himself from voicing his opinion on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's rivalry.
The Italian striker took to Instagram right after Messi's sensational free-kick goal and wrote: "A phenomenon. For the love of football please do not compare him to the no. 7 of Juventusanymore."
Barcelona defeated Liverpool 3-0 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. Luis Suarez's goal and Messi's brace brought Barca the extremely important victory on Wednesday. The return leg will be played on May 7 at Anfield.
Messi scored his first goal by picking up the ball that has bounced off the crossbar after Luis Suarez's shot and tapping it in. His second goal was way more difficult as the ball was placed approximately 26 metres away from Alisson's goal. Nevertheless, Messi scored yet another free-kick goal this season striking the ball right into the top corner.
