The Argentinean talisman broke forward into the box and Hovorka was on hand to keep him at bay with a perfectly-timed slide tackle.
Hovorka’s reaction to the tackle is what made the moment special. The defender roared after he shut down Messi.

It’s great to see just how much playing for Slavia means to Hovorka.
He can be very proud of his performance yesterday, his side were an unlucky own-goal away from coming away with a historic draw.
