- Now here are some of the quotes of some Football Legends on Leo Messi -
“I have seen the player who will inherit my place in Argentine football and his name is Messi. Messi is a genius." - Diego Maradona
"I like Messi a lot, he’s a great player. Technically, we’re practically at the same level." - Pele
“The best team, the best players in the world. Messi is the best player in the world.
‘In the last 15 years, there hasn’t been a team like Barca and there also hasn’t been a player like Messi.” - Eden Hazard
“Once they said they can only stop me with a pistol. Today you need a machine gun to stop Messi." - Hristo Stoichkov
“It is clear that Messi is on a level above all others. Those who do not see that are blind." - Xavi
"For me, to watch Messi play is a pleasure – it’s like having an orgasm – it’s an incredible pleasure." - Luis Figo
“This Barca will be remembered as Messi’s Barca. He’s well above anything else I’ve ever seen. He’s an alien." - Messi's former team-mate Carles Puyol
"Messi is the best in the world without any doubt and for me the history of football." Luis Enrique
"Messi is God, as a person and even more as a player. I knew him when he was a boy and I’ve watched him grow. He deserves it all." - Samuel Eto'o
"Although he may not be human, it’s good that Messi still thinks he is." - Javier Mascherano
“He is always going forwards. He never passes the ball backwards or sideways. He has only one idea, to run towards the goal. So as a football fan, just enjoy the show." - Zinedine Zidane
“For the world of football, Messi is a treasure because he is a role model for children around the world… Messi will be the player to win the most Ballons d’Or in history. He will win five, six, seven. He is incomparable. He’s in a different league." - Johan Cruyff
“Messi does not need his right foot. He only uses the left and he’s still the best in the world. Imagine if he also used his right foot, Then we would have serious problems." - Zlatan Ibrahimovic
“Lionel Messi is quite clearly the best player ever. It’s a pleasure to pit myself against him and when I finish my career it’s something I can look back on and know I’ve tested myself against the very best." - John Terry (Chelsea Legend)
So as Pep Guardiola said, “Don't write about him, don't try to describe him. Just watch him."
The Greatest of ALL time, Leo Messi 👑
