Braida: It's hard for Messi to leave Barca but not impossible

Barcelona's former advisor Ariedo Braida spoke to Radio anch'io sport. The Italian analysed the Champions League draw and spoke about the rumours Lionel Messi could leave.

"He's an extraordinary player, I think he's too happy in Barcelona, living with his family, he's always been there since he was 13," said Braida. "It's hard to see him go, but not impossible.

"They (Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo) are two players so good that a good coach could make it work. Messi and Cristiano could play together."

On the Napoli Last 16 clash, Braida added: "Barcelona have a lot of trouble away from home. Napoli have a great chance to win at San Paolo. It won't be easy, but in my opinion Barca have problems, especially in defence. It's not chance they've lost various game this season."

Braida left Barcelona this past summer after four years as an international sporting director.
