Capello: 'Barcelona signed Messi because of me'

Former Italian national team and Juventus manager Fabio Capello has said that he had a vital role in helping Barcelona sign Lionel Messi.

The Argentine once again wrecked havoc in the Champions League yesterday and Liverpool fell victims this time, as Messi scored a brace with one of them being delightful free-kick. It was also his 600th goal for Barcelona.

But Fabio Capello has revealed how he had a big role in helping Barcelona sign the Argentine magician back when Frank Rijkaard was the Catalan boss.

Capello: 'For me, Messi is a genius; the rest are just great'

Capello told in the Sky Sports studios: "In those days President Laporta told me:"Messi is here thanks to you ". We played a match against Juventus against Barcelona in the Gamper trophy, Messi was 16 and after 20 minutes I told Rijkaard: "With you he does not play, he is the fourth foreigner: give him to me, I keep him for a year and you laugh" . He said to me, "You'll see we can do something," and they succeeded.

"But Messi had already joined them: "But if Capello says so, then we keep him," Laporta told me. I then went in the press room and I said I saw someone who would become a great player."

MUST READ! How To Know If Your Girlfriend Will Cheat On You

Scientists from Oxford University have published a new report on how to know if your girlfriend will cheat on you. According to the report, women with a longer index finger and shorter ring finger tend to be more attractive to men, and therefore are more likely to dabble in extramarital activities. Eiluned Pearce measured the fingers of 275 female volunteers and also sampled their DNA, before getting them to complete psychological tests about their relationships. She found that “women with higher (more feminine) left-hand digit ratios are more impulsive and rate their romantic relationships less favourably” -which she said was “intriguing, because the opposite might be expected”. The study reports that the findings are in contrast to previously held beliefs that women with shorter ring fingers were actually more womanly. Scientists previously believed that they’d been exposed to higher levels of female sex hormones in the womb and therefore were...

How to Send a PayPal Link for Payment

If you have a PayPal account, people can send you money using your PayPal login email address associated with the account, but that can be cumbersome to tell people in many situations.

How PayPal Payment Links Work You can set up a special link associated with your PayPal account where if people click on it, they will be sent to a PayPal prompt to send you money and shown your profile picture to verify that you are the right person they intend to pay. You can send this to friends by text, email or instant message if they owe you money, post it on a website where friends and relatives can use it to send you gifts or use it to accept payment for your business. The username in the link can be essentially anything that you pick that hasn't already been chosen, similar to an email address, though PayPal says it shouldn't be offensive or infringe on someon...

Chelsea Or Arsenal Might Win The League - Riyad Mahrez

The Etihad club's forward refuses to write off the challenge of any of the teams in the Premier League's top four Riyad Mahrez says any of the top four teams can win the Premier League - despite Manchester City's domination of the title race. The champions and league leaders put further pressure on the chasing pack with their battling win at Watford on Tuesday night. A 2-1 success put them five points clear of second-placed Liverpool and 10 in front of Chelsea in third ahead of Wednesday night's action. Mahrez, scorer of City's second at Vicarage Road, will not write off his team's rivals, however. While Liverpool can close the gap to two points by winning at Burnley, when asked by CityTV about the gulf between the Etihad outfit and Chelsea, he said: "Of course, everyone in the top four can win the league." Pep Guardiola’s men held their nerve as Watford made a sustained late effort for an equaliser. And Mahrez, 27, believes it was the kind of...

Henry remembers being stunned by Messi's wonder strike

The French forward remembers his spell with Barcelona. He was utterly amazed by Messi's super-strike vs Malaga in 2008. He believes it was the best goal by the Argentine. “The best goal I’ve seen him score was against Malaga at home because that defied logic what he did,” Henry said. “Diagonal ball, he controls it on his chest, runs full speed. The first player goes, the second player is just behind. He takes another step, that player can clear the ball." “If he’s got the ball on his left foot here, how do you go back with that same leg and touch the ball in the air, in between the two to make sure that guy doesn’t touch it - and then almost fail but smash it into the top corner. That's not normal."
