The former Argentina centre-back has hailed
his compatriot's fine performances and feels
he is arguably the best player ever
Former Barcelona defender Gabriel Milito
believes that Lionel Messi is the best player in
the history of the game even if he never wins
the World Cup with Argentina.
The 26-year-old, who recently stated that he
dreams of winning Brazil 2014, has often been
criticised for his relatively underwhelming
performances with the national side, but Milito
feels his compatriot doesn't need international
success in order to be seen as the best ever.
"It doesn't seem right to me to claim that you
have to win the World Cup in order to be
regarded as the best ever," Milito told RAC1 .
"He just keeps on improving and outdoing
himself year after year and that's why he is the
best ever for me.
"I simply cannot imagine that there will ever
be a player who can do what Leo has been
doing on the pitch."
Messi has been in fine form in the opening
weeks of the 2013-14 campaign, netting nine
goals in six appearances for Barcelona.
