The Argentinean is widely considered as the greatest player of all time or the GOAT. The 34-year-old has enjoyed unprecedented success with Barcelona and Argentina over the years.
Messi added another feather to his cap by helping La Albiceleste lift the Copa America this year. The PSG star has struggled since joining the Parisians this summer. However, there’s no denying his qualities on the pitch.
Messi’s credentials as the GOAT were further boosted when he won his seventh Ballon d’Or award last month. In the process, he also became the first PSG player to win the coveted award.
However, speaking to France Football, as relayed by Sport Bible, the Argentinean showed his humble side while shedding light on the GOAT debate.
“I never said, thought, or even tried to come to terms with this idea (of being the greatest). For me, just being able to be considered or cited as one of the best players in the world is more than enough. It is something that I would never have dared to imagine or dream of,” said Messi.“It doesn’t change anything for me to be the best or not. And I never tried to be either,” continued Messi.
