The late Brazilian legend Pele is the only footballer that can be compared to Messi, according to the former Chelsea player.
The former England international said that the controversy surrounding Messi and Ronaldo has been resolved as a result of Argentina’s achievement at the 2022 World Cup.
There is always a discussion. He has won everything, therefore the discussion regarding this generation is now over, he told BT Sport.
“I’ve never seen a player like him; I believe only Pele can challenge him as the best player of all time. I believe he is in the same position as him, not above Ronaldo or Maradona.
