Gary Lineker on Lionel Messi

“Messi produces more pieces of exceptional skill in a single game than I managed in an entire career.”

“I never ever thought I would say that there was a better player than Maradona since he was in my time and I was in awe of him, but I honestly think for a number of reasons that Messi has surpassed him. He can do anything that Maradona did, and he does it more frequently and consistently.”
