The President of Argentina Javier Milei has named Lionel Messi as the best football player in history. He also compared him to the legendary Brazilian, Pele, giving preference to his fellow countryman.
Milei said in an interview with La Nación:
Would I like to meet Messi? Leo is the best player in history. I've been saying this for a long time. There's even a video out there where I said it before. Besides that, Lionel surpasses Pele in average goal scoring. There's no doubt about it. It would be an honor for me to welcome Messi to my residence.
The Argentine national team, led by Lionel Messi as captain, will play in the final of the 2024 Copa America against the Colombian national team. The final match of the tournament will take place on July 15. The team captain noted that he may retire from the national team after this championship.
Messi is an eight-time winner of the Ballon d'Or. He is also a World Cup champion and a multiple Champions League winner with Barcelona.
