In all aspects of the game, Lionel Messi is the best – Barcelona star Jordi Alba

Barcelona star Jordi Alba has recalled his time of playing with Lionel Messi at the club. Alba tipped Messi as the best in all aspects of the game. Messi is regarded as one of the best players in the history of the game as he has had a glorious career.

Messi played 778 matches for Barcelona and scored 672 goals and provided 288 assists in his illustrious career. Furthermore, the legendary player won 34 trophies with the club.

Messi spent 17 years at Blaugrana and played an instrumental role in taking the club to new heights as he grew as a player. The talisman’s contract with the club ended on 30th June 2021 and then he went on to join PSG Saint-Germain on a two-year deal.

Alba told Movistar [via SPORT]: “We understood each other perfectly. I would just put it at the right time. It was increasingly difficult because all the rivals already knew us, but he came in from the second row and sometimes found other teammates who were more unmarked.”

“We made a very good duo. With him, everything was easier. Almost all my assists are to him, I remember that the first was at El Sadar. In all aspects of the game, he is the best.”

On the other hand, Alba revealed he was cheering for Lionel Messi in the FIFA World Cup. Messi led Argentina to glory as he scored seven goals and provided three assists for the national team in the quadrennial event.

“All football lovers wanted Leo to win, for everything he has suffered, for everything he has given to football, and because he has always wanted that cup.”

Meanwhile, it has been reported that PSG Saint-Germain are preparing for the possible exit of the talismanic duo of Neymar and Messi.
