"Barcelona have been the best since Ronaldinho, Xavi, [Andres] Iniesta and, above all, Messi."Messi is from another world.

"The former England striker spoke further about Messi and his admiration for the Argentine."He does four or five things in a game that I have never done in my career," said Lineker. "He does amazing things, he's the best of all time

."I never thought that I'd see someone better than [Diego] Maradona; they say that Maradona won a World Cup and Messi hasn't, but Leo has four Champions League titles and Maradona has none."Barcelona play with 13 players because they have Messi."
