Former Barcelona
defender Gabriel Milito believes that Barcelona star Lionel Messi is the
best player in the history of football even if he has never won the
World Cup with his country.
The Argentine international, who recently talked about his dreams of winning the world cup, has often been criticised for his relatively very great performances with the national team, but Milito feels the Barcelona star doesn't need international victory to be classified 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 good form since the opening weeks of the 2013-14 campaign, scoring nine goals in six appearances for Barcelona.
