Lionel Messi surprised everyone with this confession about the toughest defender in the world.

It is no secret that Lionel Messi has faced the best defenders in the world, since the Argentine has been in the world elite for more than 17 years, and both in the Spanish League, as well as in Ligue 1 and in the UEFA Champions League, has faced the best, the best.

Now, an old interview with Lionel Messi has gone viral, in which he confesses and surprises, saying which is the toughest defender he has ever had to face. While the fans expected him to say Sergio Ramos or Virgil Van Dijk, the reality was completely the opposite, and it surprised the whole world.

It's about Pablo Maffeo, current defender of Mallorca. These were the words of Lionel Messi about him: "There are ugly games to play and other strange games too. Sometimes I have a man making a personal mark on me, it's something strange but it doesn't bother me at all," Messi said, adding that "depending on how it goes the party, with the one that marks me, we say things to each other".

Will Lionel leave PSG?

Lionel Messi has not announced his future yet, although, everything points out that he'll leave Paris Saint-Germain. The question is, where will Messi play? Lionel Messi is closer than ever to return to FC Barcelona. However, nothing's confirmed yet.
