Last month during the semi-final match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich, Leo Messi humiliated Jerome Boateng through a terrible dribble that led to the fall of Boateng. After the incident, The defender has been subjected to barrage of comedy memes and social media criticism.
Boateng reacted to the incident during an interview with ESPN. He said: “That fall didn’t really affect me, I was laughing at myself, too! When you fall down or slip in a situation and somebody scores a goal, it’s normal.
“These things happen; it happens to me, it happens to other players, I don’t care about these things.
“For me, he’s the best player in the world. That’s football. Sometimes you look bad or something happens. I’m a defender, that doesn’t kill me or anything.”
He continues : “Of course it was a bad loss for us, and we did well for 75 minutes or something, and then against a team like this it’s difficult,” the Germany international, 26, added. “Especially the second goal was a great goal from Messi.
“At the end of the day, you have to continue your hard work, and next season I will try with the team again to win the Champions League. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, sometimes you are unlucky, but that’s life.”
