Gary Lineker believes Lionel Messi confirmed his status as the greatest player in football history when he guided Argentina to World Cup glory.
Ahead of the new season, Lineker revealed who the "greatest player" he's ever watched is, what his transfer value in today's market would be like and how his career as a forward with Barcelona has impacted him.
"For me, [he is] the greatest player I've had the pleasure of watching. [Messi] has given me immense joy for two decades. And he just does things that ordinary mortals can't do," Lineker told. "He's just a joy to watch. Just every single game I watch that he plays. Even on his quiet days, he'll do three or four things in one game that I don't think I would have done once in my whole career.
