Lionel Messi’s dip in form for Barcelona last year was down to eating too many pizzas

Lionel Messi’s dip in form for Barcelona last year has seemingly been explained – after a former coach at the club claimed the Argentine ate too many pizzas in 2014

Carles Rexach – who twice coached the Catalan giants, and has been described by many as being the man who discovered Messi – said the 27-year-old gobbled down perhaps one too many pizzas last year.

‘Before he would eat at the club and then rest afterwards,’ Rexach told Regio7.

‘But it seems to me that last year Messi ate more pizzas than he wanted or needed.’
