MESSI NAMED GREATEST PLAYER OF LAST 25 YEARS

Leo Messi has been recognised by FourFourTwo as the greatest footballer of the past 25 years. In addition to the 603 goals he has notched in his 687 appearances for Barcelona, the prestigious football magazine picks out several of the Barça captain's other major assets: “Not just a scorer of goals, not just a creator of chances and not just a world-class passer and dribbler, Messi is all of the above and more. Simply the best”.
