The match “Celtic” – “Barcelona”, the memory of Messi – Frasser Forster, the opponent who pulled out the Argentine by his white hair

The match between “Celtic Glasgow” and “Barcelona” entered the history of the UEFA Champions League.

The game took place on 7 November 2012 and the Scots managed to win 2-1 despite having only 11% of possession.

The match left a deep mark in the memory of Lionel Messi, who 11 years later spoke about the match in which “Barcelona” scored no less than 14 shots on goal and lost.

One of the people who made a decisive contribution to the success of “Celtic” was the goalkeeper Fraser Forster himself, who irritated the Catalan players as much as possible with his extraordinary parades.

According to SportBible, Lionel Messi was impressed by the performance of the then Celtic goalkeeper, saying that he was simply “inhuman”.

“Fraser Forster’s game against us has been talked about for a long time. In the Scotland game it was just inhuman, it was the best performance by a goalkeeper I have ever seen.

When Victor Valdes was about to leave, we even discussed replacing him with Forster. I was sure he would end up at Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United.” – said Leo Messi, according to the quoted source.
