Ivan Rakitic has said Lionel Messi’s desire to win the Champions League is proving an inspiration for Barcelona ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg against Liverpool on Wednesday.At the start of the season, Messi stood on his home pitch and pledged to bring “that beautiful cup back to Camp Nou” after three consecutive years of Barca crashing out in the quarter-finals.
“Leo has been a La Liga champion 10 times in 15 years and of course, after seeing him lift the cup with such happiness, that motivates everyone. “We want to be in the final but we have to understand the last few years weren’t the best for us,” Rakitic said. “We have to learn from that.”
