'I was surprised with the way he behaves': Hakimi on Messi Barca departure

Achraf Hakimi has provided an insight into Leo Messi's personality in the dressing room.

Hakimi told L'Equipe: "For Messi to leave Barca, like everyone else, I didn't expect it. And when I heard you were coming here, what can I say?

"A dream for me! I played with many great players and the only one I missed was Messi! I am proud to evolve with such a good footballer."

The versatile Morocco international added: "To progress, I will pay attention to how he trains, how he plays. It will grow the team and each of the players that make it up.

"We speak the same language, in addition, little by little we are getting to know each other.

"Building a technical relationship with him is easy! I give him the ball, I run and he will put it where it belongs! (Laughs) I was surprised by the way he behaved, he is simple, quiet."

Leo Messi has just re-joined group training, according to credible reports. The Argentine could feature against Manchester City on Tuesday.
