Lionel Messi would struggle in a cold night at the Britiannia Stadium

"Barcelona would struggle in the EPL as they've never played the likes of Stoke.... Lionel Messi would struggle in a cold night at the Britiannia Stadium." Sky Sports football commentator and EPL salesman Andy Gray believes that the Spanish champions will struggle to cope in the English top flight and so will the world's finest player Messi. Ahem... :cantstop:

I am in No mood to ridicule This. But this statement is OTT. I dont think that will be the case, But having said that Barca would not find it easy against English Lower Table sides as they find it against La Liga Lower haldf of the table sides, Simply because BPL teams are much more physical and wont Let Messi and Barca play freely as they do in La Liga.

Yes, someone like Xavi will not get as much time on the ball as he would in La Liga hed be hacked down by the Joey Bartons of the league
