🚨🗣️ James Milner (on Lionel Messi): “I didn't have a beef with him. I caught him with a heavy challenge at The Camp Nou, he wasn’t very happy. I gave him a tap and said ‘are you okay?’ and he started shouting ‘BURRO’ which means donkey.” 😂💀 “He’s an absolutely incredible player, the best there ever has been in my eyes. He nutmegged me when I was playing for city and I believe the clip had 1 or 2 views on YouTube. But he nutmegs every play he plays against.”🐐😮💨 GAME RECOGNIZES GAME 💯👏
