Jordi Masip speaks in MD of his time as Barca goalkeeper.
Jordi Masip formed in La Masia and reached the first team, although he had very few minutes with Messi. Even so, he can boast of having won two Leagues, three Cups, a Spanish Supercup and another European, the Club World Cup and a Champions League with Luis Enrique as coach.
He was also lucky enough to play with Messi.
I can't say anything about Messi that hasn't been said already. He's a competitive beast. The best I have seen in all my life and, in addition, I have had the pleasure of playing with him, of sharing work sessions, of suffering from him in training and of enjoying it. I haven't seen such a thing.
What's he like as a person?
He was very good to everyone coming up from La Masia. It doesn't look like it, but it's a funny person, make you laugh in the locker room. Maybe he's not a person who's talking all day, he's not like Piqué. I'm very happy about how he treated me and how everyone treated me in the locker room.
Did Pique already see those media skills he has now?
Yeah, it's natural, it's what he looks like. That's right, he likes jokes a lot, he's a very generous person who helps a lot to all the people who come from the academy. I was lucky enough to find myself a wardrobe that had a great human quality. I was very lucky in this regard.
