DBasia.news – The Barcelona youth player, Carles Alena, thinks Lionel Messi is the best player in the world.
Lionel Messi is still at the top level despite being 31 years old. The Argentine player became Barcelona’s mainstay to score.
Alena felt Lionel Messi did not deserve to be ranked fifth in the 2018 Ballon d’Or. In that edition, the best place belongs to Luka Modric.
“I have run out of words about Lionel Messi and I have played with him for one year. He is number one and has no match. The results at the Ballon d’Or are wrong, he is not number five in the world,” Alena said.
“People say it is a joke, but that is the reality. He is the best for 12 years and broke all records. There will be other great players, but never like Lionel Messi,” he continued.
“Spectacular, he behaved like a captain and helped a lot when I was on the team. He said I had to play calmly because there would always be pressure on the first team.”
“You play with a star. He makes me feel bigger. Messi is a good man,” Alena said.
