“I’ve tried to get Lionel Messi arrested” – Cordoba president, Gonzalez

Ahead of their Copa del Rey match on Wednesday, Cordoba president Carlos Gonzalez, has joked that he has tried to get Lionel Messi arrested.

The Argentine forward, has been in great form all season and on Sunday, broke Gerd Muller’s record of goals scored. He will also be looking forward to extend the new record of 86.

“I’ve tried to talk to the civil guard to get [Messi] arrested,” he told reporters.

Gonzalez admitted that his side face a difficult challenge against Tito Vilanova’s men, but insisted they will fight to get a result.

“We will compete by all means to get a good result to take into the second leg.

“In sport anything can happen, but it will be very complicated, because even their second string would be good enough to finish runners up in La Liga.”
