The 2014-2015 UEFA Championships League`s drawing for the round of 16 ended on Monday and Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona) made a provocation.

At the drawing at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, it has been decided that FC Barcelona will play with England`s star team Manchester City. After the draw, Messi posted a message at his Facebook account saying, "It`ll be really nice to face my friend Sergio Aguero as I always beat him at FIFA."

Messi is star player in Spain`s Primera Liga while Aguero is star forward at England`s Premier League. Aguero ranks No. 1 in goal ranking as he scored 14 goals in 15 games. At this season`s Championships League as of Tuesday, Messi has scored 16 goals and Aguero five, ranking second and third, respectively. Messi made his 75th goal at the Championships League, posting record-high goals in his personal football history.

Messi and Aguero are both from Argentina and played at the Argentine national football team. Messi is mentioning Aguero in part for a friendly competition. Messi said, "Let`s see what happens on the pitch." The two teams will meet at the round of 16 for the second straight season. When the two teams confronted at last season`s round of 16, Barcelona beat Manchester City 4-1 for first and second plays combined.
