Summary

Lionel Messi stands on the brink of World Cup glory.

The Argentine has been a recurring topic amongst our 150 guests over the last seven years. Sit back and enjoy some of their memories of the GOAT.

Pablo Zabaleta recalls a quiet, skinny Messi in the Argentina Under-20s dressing room… then he did his talking on the pitch.

Gary Neville says that seeing Messi playing in the Camp Nou against Manchester City was the only time he has been genuinely mesmerised by a player.

Countryman Federico Fernández speaks of a humble, family guy.

Ander Herrera recalls playing for Real Zaragoza against Barcelona when Messi decided to take the game by the scruff of the neck and singlehandedly set up victory.

Lastly there’s a quick contribution from Graeme Souness, who considers Messi the greatest of all time.

Enjoy
