Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua korero a Thierry Henry mo te ego o te hoa o mua o Barcelona, a Lionel Messi, me te kii he mea noa mo tetahi tangata tino pukenga ki te mohio he pai ia. I whakatakotohia e Messi he akomanga rangatira ki a Manchester City i a ia e patu ana i a James Milner me Fernandinho, ana i whakakahoretia tana whaainga tuaiwa o te whakataetae e te tino Joe Hart. He maha nga wa e whakaahuatia ana a Messi hei whakaiti i te wa e whakataurite ana ki a Cristiano Ronaldo, engari ko te whakaaro a Henry ko te rangatira o Argentina e whai ana i te ego he tawhiti atu i te 'he mea kino'. Kua kōrerohia e Thierry Henry, te pakiwaitara o Arsenal, te whakapehapeha o tana hoa kapa o mua o Barcelona, a Lionel Messi. I whakatakoto a Messi i tētahi akoranga rangatira ki a Manchester City i te pō o te Rāapa a ko Joe Hart anake i whakakahore ki a ia. He tino pai a Messi ki a City i te Nou Camp i a ia e whakaatu ana i reira ko ia te kaitakaro whutupaoro pai rawa atu o te ao. 'E pouri ana ahau ki a ia, e pouri ana hoki no te mea e ruarua ana te iwi i a ia i etahi wa,' i kii te kaitohutohu a Sky Sports a Henry. 'Kei te ruarua rātau ki a ia. Me pēhea e ruarua ai koe i tētahi tangata pēnei? 'Kua eke ia ki te taumata e kore ai e taea e au te whakarongo ki te hunga e ruarua ana ki tenei tangata. Ko te mea kua meatia e ia kia tatou katoa oaoa i te tangata, rite i meatia e matou i tenei po. He tino harikoa ahau. 'Kei a ia te whakapehapeha. Ae ra, kei a ia te mana nui. E whakaaro ana koe ka taea e koe te mahi i tera me te kore he ego? Ehara i te mea kino. Ehara i te mea kino te whai i tētahi whakaaro nui. E mohio ana koe he pai koe. E hiahiatia ana e koe. 'Kia pono katoa tatou. E hiahiatia ana e koe. E tākaro noa ana ia. Mēnā ka tono koe ki a ia kia tākaro ki a koe ināianei i waho noa iho o te rūma whakakakahu, ka hiahia noa ia ki te whakangahau, ki te mahi, ki te tino pai i reira.' I kōrero a Henry, te kaiwhawhai o mua o Arsenal me Barcelona i runga i Sky Sports hei kaitohutohu mō te tukinga. Kei te whakaaro a Lineker ko te whai ego a Messi ehara i te mea kino, i te mea me mohio te whetu o Barca he pai ia. Ko Messi pea he mea utu nui i te mea kua whakaatuhia e te maestro o Barcelona ona pukenga i te Nou Camp. He awhina mai i a Messi i hangaia te whaainga anake o te keemu ki City i te mea i kitea a Ivan Rakitic i te waahi ki te tuku i te kaitiaki whaainga a Hart i te meneti 31. Ko nga nutmegs a Messi i waiho a Milner ki tona tuara, ko te kaiwhakahaere o Bayern Munich a Pep Guardiola e hipoki ana i tona mata,...
I whiua e Barcelona a Manchester 1-0 (agg 3-1) i te Champions League. He tino pai a Lionel Messi mō te Barca i a rātou e patu ana i a City. I werohia e Messi a James Milner, i waiho te kaitakawaenga i muri i a ia. E mea ana a Thierry Henry he mea maori noa iho mo te tangata tino pai kia whai mana. I haere a Gary Lineker ki Twitter ki te tohu i a Messi hei 'kaiwhakamahi nui rawa atu'
