In light of Leo’s recent form, Barcelona colleague Thierry Henry has had some complimentary words for the Argentine. “It is kind of ridiculous what he’s doing. He’s amazing,” Barcelona striker Henry said. “I don’t know if you can say he’s playing better – he’s playing. He’s maintaining what he was doing, he’s playing at a level where nobody from Barcelona wants him to stop.”
“I think there is no doubting Messi is the best player in the world,” Stuttgart coach Christian Gross said. “His ability is incredible when you consider his age. I think it’s fair to compare him to (Diego) Maradona.”
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said Messi’s status as a game-changer was growing and he could already be considered among the greats. “Last year we won six titles. He was very decisive in those,” Guardiola said. “Every great has a tendency to influence his team, like (Michael) Jordan with the (Chicago) Bulls. He’s the best. We wouldn’t trade him for anybody.”
