Who's the king of football: Pele, Maradona, Сristiano or Messi? The answer is obvious for these eleven men
"For the world of football, Messi is a treasure because he is a role model for children around the world. He is incomparable. He’s in a different league.” – Barca legend Johan Cruyff
“We all know what Leo Messi is. He is without doubt the best player in the world, but also the best in the history of football.” – Barca’s ex-coach Luis Enrique
“The more I see of Messi the more I’m convinced he’s the greatest of all time. He is a genius, what he does is like Leonardo Di Vinci. He’s everything you want to see in a player, the way he plays it with a smile on his face. I saw quite a bit of Pele and Maradona and it was difficult to split them but I’d go Messi, Pele, Maradona and then Ronaldo.” – Liverpool legend Phil Thompson
"Who is the Best Player in the World? Leo Messi. Who is the Best Player Ever? Leo Messi." – Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger
"Fella’s a genius. Best ever by a distance in my life time. Never really saw Pele… Souness, Gullit, Venables and now Rooney agree Messi is the best they have seen. He plays a game with which we are not familiar." – England legend Gary Lineker
"Lionel Messi is quite clearly the best player ever. It’s a pleasure to pit myself against him and when I finish my career it’s something I can look back on and know I’ve tested myself against the very best." – Chelsea icon John Terry
"In my entire life I have never seen a player of such quality and personality at such a young age, particularly wearing the ‘heavy’ shirt of one of the world’s great clubs... Before a game, you can plan for everything. But Messi can produce a move that no-one expects and change the game in an instant." – Real Madrid’s ex-manager Fabio Capello
"I was a big fan of Maradona growing up and of the current crop Ronaldo is good but Messi is the best I’ve ever seen. I don’t dish out praise lightly but Messi deserves it. I look for weaknesses in his game and I can’t find them." – Man United’s ex-captain Roy Keane
"Messi is the best player ever. And this is said by someone who has seen Maradona and Pele play." - AC Milan chief Adriano Galliani
"I wear the number 10 Jersey for the US National Team in honour of the Greatest athlete I have ever seen: Messi." – Basketball superstar Kobe Bryant
"For me the top three players in history are Messi, Pele and Maradona.” – Man United manager Jose Mourinho
