Former Atletico Madrid defender Felipe Luis revealed a harsh nickname that Diego Simeone gave to Lionel Messi. During Simeone's tenure, Atletico Madrid often faced Messi's exceptional abilities, with the Argentine player being a constant challenge for the Madrid-based club. Messi was outstanding against Atletico, winning 24 of his games in all competitions, drawing 11 and losing just eight times.
In 43 games against the Madrid side, he scored 32 goals and established his dominance against opponents during his time in La Liga. Simeone has a trick to stop Messi, and now former Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier has been revealed. During the tactical pre-match meeting, Simeone said just one word to the team's players when he faced Messi.
Messi, meanwhile, enjoyed a break from the MLS regular season, even though his team, Inter Miami, missed out on a playoff qualification. Recently, he was photographed lovingly signing fans' Inter Miami and Argentina jerseys while training with his wife and her personal trainer at the "Hip Lab". Messi continues to show great quality in the football world and his performance against Atletico Madrid has impressed.
