Imagine being picked by Lionel Messi as the best striker in the world.

Lionel Messi is at a delicate moment in his career, because he has to choose whether to stay at Paris Saint-Germain, although all the information says that he will not, or go to another team. FC Barcelona is behind the Argentine, but he also received an offer of 400 million to play in Saudi Arabia.

Now, in the midst of all the commotion, some old words from Lionel Messi have gone viral throughout the world in an interview, in which he said who his favorite striker was, and although many expected an answer like Mbappe or Cristiano Ronaldo, his words surprised.

Lionel Messi left no room for doubt, and specifically commented on who his favorite striker was, and therefore, the best in the world or in history: "Ronaldo Nazario was a phenomenon. Of the strikers I've seen, for me he was the best. An impressive player from any aspect"

When will Lionel Messi play again?

Lionel Messi and Paris Saint-Germain lost to Olympique Lyon just a few days ago, and now they'll have to redeem themselves in Ligue 1, against Niza. Also, little by little we will have to get used to the idea that Lionel Messi will be playing his last games with Paris Saint-Germain...
