Hansi Flick, the Barcelona boss, has named Lionel Messi, the Inter Miami forward, as the greatest footballer of all time.
Flick said this in reaction to Messi’s nice comments about Barcelona team.
Messi had recently branded the current Barcelona team under Flick as ‘spectacular’.
The former Barcelona captain said he was hugely ‘proud’ to see how the first team is representing the club at the moment.
Speaking ahead of Barcelona’s LaLiga clash with Celta Vigo on Saturday night, Flick said the Blaugrana love the fact that Messi, who left Camp Nou few years ago for Paris Saint-Germain, still follows the team.
“It’s an honor that Leo Messi, the greatest player of all time, says good things about Barça,” Flick said (via Fabrizio Romano).
“We love that he follows the team. It means a lot to us that he holds the youngsters in the squad in such high regard.”
