German defender, Jerome Boateng, has stated that he has experienced mixed memories when facing Messi after making the switch to Lyon on a free transfer.
Boateng, who has featured for European powerhouses Bayern Munich for several years, experienced many battles with Messi. In an interview with the French press, he revealed that not all memories of those battles were good.
"I have good and bad memories of my games against Messi. I don't know if anyone has only good memories of facing him ," he said.
"Now I play with OL. All games start 0-0. What I know, after my experience at Bayern and in the national team , is that by working as a team everything is possible, you can achieve all your goals," he added.
Messi recently joined PSG and there could be some more battles between the two players.
