Luiz: Why I Returned To Chelsea

Messi recently went back on his decision to retire from international football after meeting with new boss Edgardo Bauza in the build-up to this fixture, and the Galatasaray shot-stopper is glad the FC Barcelona superstar did so.

"For us, to play against a player like Messi is beautiful," Muslera told reporters, as quoted by FourFourTwo.

"To share the pitch with players like Messi, but not only him – Luis (Suarez) too, Edi (Cavani) are top players.

"It is nice, very enjoyable and also makes the match more exciting."
