Lionel Messi is one of the best players ever.
That’s according to former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, who was watching him in Barcelona’s 3-0 win against Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final.
He was in awe, telling Gary Lineker on BT Sport that one day he was going to be lucky enough to tell his grandchildren he got to watch Messi play in person.
“Lionel Messi’s a phenomenal player. He’s got everything. He’s one of the best ever, if not the best,” he said.
