Robbie Savage claimed Lionel Messi was teasing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba during the 3-0 loss to Barcelona.

The outspoken pundit highlighted how the Argentinian playmaker had flourished in the game at the expense of the Man United star, and shared he just wanted Pogba to grab a game by the scruff of the neck.

However Savage conceded that once again Pogba had been overrun in midfield.

“Look at Messi just teasing Pogba,” said Savage on BBC Radio 5 Live (21:45, Tuesday April 16th).

“You just want Pogba to grab a game and once again he has been overrun.”

OPINION

Pogba is Marmite among Man United fans and pundits alike. The midfielder has the skill set to blow everyone’s minds and steal the show, but sometimes during matches it’s easy to forget he’s playing. When the game kicked off on Tuesday, it looked like it was going to be one of those special nights for Pogba as he started the game in quick fashion. The midfielder carved out a couple of opportunities and looked lively, however the opening portion of the game turned out to be the best part of it as far as Pogba was concerned. The midfielder had no luck as the game went on and there were large portions of the match when he was the invisible man and barely touched the ball. Given that Pogba is the type of player who believes he is among the best in the game, it’s easy to see why he thinks that, he would be annoyed at himself for allowing Messi to completely outclass him.
